When the Government Breaks the Law

The Constitution protects you from government overreach. When officials violate those protections, you have the right to seek justice. We specialize in holding them accountable.

Excessive Force

Police officers must use only the force necessary. When they cross the line, it's a constitutional violation. We fight for victims of police brutality.

False Arrest

Arrested without probable cause? Detained unlawfully? These violations of your Fourth Amendment rights can result in significant damages.

Federal Court

Most civil rights cases go to federal court. We are admitted to the Eastern District of Oklahoma and regularly litigate there.
