Civil Rights / Constitutional Law

The Constitution of the United States as well as state constitutions provide protection to citizens to engage in certain activities. These protected activities are often challenged by individuals, businesses or governmental entities. Our attorneys have represented well over 20 different governmental entities in north and east Texas defending claims of civil rights violations.  We have also represented individuals whose civil rights have been violated by governmental entities outside Texas.
