Civil rights lawyers in New York

Civil rights cases ask whether a government office or another defendant violated a constitutional or statutory right. They are not the same as the criminal defense of the person who was arrested. These offices handle those claims.

Common questions

Does the criminal case have to end first?

Often a civil claim about an arrest waits on the criminal case, because the outcome can affect the civil one. Ask before you file anything.

Are public defenders listed here?

This page lists firms that publish civil rights work. It is not the assigned-counsel plan and it does not replace a public defender in a criminal case.
