When a US citizen’s civil rights are violated, US law provides him or her with a recourse to obtain justice. The American Constitution, its Amendments, and the Bill of Rights all guarantee that American citizens receive fundamental, essential civil rights.
America’s founding fathers were determined to protect the freedoms and rights of their citizens. However, the US legal system can be complex, confusing, and difficult to navigate. This is especially true in a case pertaining to civil rights.
A civil rights lawyer can help victims of civil rights violations attain the justice that they deserve. Phillips Law Group understands the intricacies, complexities, and requirements in cases related to civil rights.
Don’t wait to get the justice you are entitled to.

Who Were the First Civil Rights Lawyers of the United States?
In a way, the founding fathers of the United States were the first civil rights lawyers in the country. Why do we say this? Because it was their determination to create a legal system that protects citizens from violations of their basic human rights.
The resulting legal documents established prevent the exploitation and corruption of US citizens. These key documents include the American constitution, its Amendments, and the Bill of Rights.
Within these are found the essential and basic civil liberties the founding fathers intended for all US citizens to have. In 21st Century speech, we often use the term “civil rights” in place of “civil liberties.”
Unfortunately, inequality, the abuse of authority and power, and acts of injustice are still heard of in the news across the country today. In one recent year, civil rights case filings in the US rose by 5 percent.
How Modern Civil Rights Lawyers Help Fight Discrimination
Although the topic of civil rights and civil liberties is as old as the United States, it remains a current issue. Discrimination, inequality, and unfair treatment can still be seen in the workplace, businesses, and even law enforcement. When a person is discriminated against because of his or her nationality, ethnicity, race, age, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability, this is a civil rights violation.
It may be that you or a loved one has been the victim of a civil rights violation. If so, what can you do?
When a US citizen is the victim of a civil rights violation, he or she can get help from a civil rights lawyer. A civil rights lawyer understands how US laws relate to acts of discrimination and similar violations of civil rights. A civil rights lawyer can help a victim navigate the complex laws related to this topic and reach the justice that he or she deserves.
How a Civil Rights Lawyer Can Help Your Case
If you are the victim of a violation of your civil rights, you will need the assistance of a skilled attorney with extensive and accurate knowledge of civil rights laws. The help of a qualified attorney is especially important if your case requires courtroom litigation.
Even before a case reaches a courtroom, a civil rights lawyer can provide you with essential legal counsel. To get the restitution that your civil rights violation case calls for, you will need clear legal direction throughout the case. This is necessary in order to navigate the complex and numerous laws related to civil rights.
In addition to helping you with courtroom litigation, a civil rights lawyer can obtain eyewitness testimony that proves your version of events that have happened. Expert witnesses, secured by your lawyer, can also establish the effects and seriousness of the discrimination or inequality you have experienced.
Having the assistance of a civil rights lawyer is valuable in areas that can seem small but are crucially important. For example, the required paperwork must be filed correctly and submitted on time.
The amount of paperwork and documentation that must be submitted and filed in a precise manner can be overwhelming. An experienced civil rights attorney can make sure that all clerical work is done correctly and on time. Thus, ensuring that the progress of your case is not impeded because of a paperwork problem.
