Bucks County Civil Rights Attorney

BACK TO ARTICLES

Our Bucks County civil rights attorneys represent victims of police misconduct, false arrest, discrimination, and government abuse.

Every individual in Bucks County deserves to live free from discrimination, unlawful arrest, and abuse of power. Yet, when government officials or law enforcement officers cross the line, the effects can be devastating. Victims are often left traumatized, humiliated, or even physically injured — all because someone in authority violated their constitutional rights.

At Wilk Law Firm, our Bucks County civil rights lawyers are passionate about fighting for justice. We represent victims of police misconduct, racial discrimination, retaliation, and unlawful searches or arrests throughout Bucks County and beyond. Our mission is to restore your dignity, protect your rights, and hold wrongdoers accountable.

What Constitutes a Civil Rights Violation?

Civil rights violations occur when individuals acting under the authority of government misuse their power or deny citizens the freedoms guaranteed under federal and state law. Common examples include:

  • Police brutality and excessive force
  • Unlawful arrests or detentions
  • Racial profiling or harassment
  • Denial of due process or fair treatment
  • Failure to provide medical care while in custody
  • Retaliation for exercising free speech or political activity
  • Discrimination in housing, employment, or public access

Each of these actions undermines the principles of justice and equality that our system stands for — and Wilk Law Firm works to make sure those responsible are held accountable.

Police Misconduct in Bucks County

Law enforcement officers are entrusted with great power, but that power must be exercised responsibly. When officers use excessive force, falsify evidence, or conduct illegal searches, they not only harm individuals but also damage the public’s trust.

Our Bucks County police misconduct attorneys handle cases involving:

  • Unjustified shootings or use of deadly force
  • Beatings and physical assaults
  • Taser or firearm misuse
  • False imprisonment and fabricated charges
  • Racial profiling or targeting

We pursue justice under Section 1983 of the Civil Rights Act, which allows victims to hold government officials accountable for constitutional violations.

Discrimination and Retaliation Claims

Civil rights violations also occur outside the criminal justice system — in the workplace, housing, and public life. Our firm represents individuals who have suffered discrimination based on:

  • Race or ethnicity
  • Gender or sexual orientation
  • Religion or creed
  • Disability or medical condition
  • Age or national origin

If you’ve been wrongfully terminated, denied housing, or retaliated against for speaking up, you have legal recourse — and Wilk Law Firm can help.

Compensation for Civil Rights Victims

Victims of civil rights violations may be entitled to recover compensation for both financial and emotional harm, including:

  • Medical expenses and physical injuries
  • Lost wages or career opportunities
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
  • Punitive damages (to deter future misconduct)
  • Attorney’s fees and legal costs

Our firm works to ensure that justice is served not only through compensation, but also through accountability.
