Montgomery County Civil Rights Attorney
In Montgomery County, every citizen is entitled to fair treatment under the law — free from discrimination, unlawful detention, or police abuse. Unfortunately, when those in power overstep their authority, innocent people pay the price. Civil rights violations can leave lasting physical, emotional, and financial scars.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Montgomery County civil rights lawyers are committed to fighting for individuals whose rights have been violated. Whether you’ve experienced police misconduct, racial discrimination, retaliation, or abuse by a government entity, we stand ready to protect your rights and pursue justice.
What Is a Civil Rights Violation?
A civil rights violation occurs when someone acting under the authority of the government — such as a police officer, corrections official, or other public employee — violates an individual’s rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution or federal civil rights laws.
Common types of civil rights violations include:
- Police brutality and excessive force
- False arrests and unlawful imprisonment
- Racial profiling or harassment
- Unlawful searches and seizures
- Discrimination in housing, employment, or education
- Denial of due process or medical care while in custody
- Retaliation for exercising free speech or political rights
These cases are not just about individual justice — they are about protecting the principles of equality and accountability that define our democracy.
Police Misconduct and Abuse of Power
Law enforcement officers are granted great power to keep our communities safe. However, when they misuse that authority, it can lead to devastating harm.
Our firm represents victims in Montgomery County who have suffered from:
- Excessive or deadly force
- Taser or firearm misuse
- Illegal searches or seizures
- False charges or fabricated evidence
- Beatings or physical assaults while in custody
Under Section 1983 of the Civil Rights Act, individuals can seek justice when their constitutional rights are violated by police or other public officials.
Civil Rights and Workplace Discrimination
Civil rights extend beyond law enforcement. They apply in workplaces, schools, and public spaces where individuals should be treated equally and fairly. Our attorneys handle cases involving discrimination based on:
- Race, ethnicity, or national origin
- Gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation
- Religion or creed
- Disability or medical condition
- Age or veteran status
If you have been denied opportunities, wrongfully terminated, or retaliated against for asserting your rights, Wilk Law Firm can help you pursue justice and fair compensation.
Compensation Available in Civil Rights Cases
Victims of civil rights violations may be entitled to financial recovery for:
- Medical treatment and physical injuries
- Lost income or job opportunities
- Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
- Punitive damages to punish and deter wrongdoing
- Attorney’s fees and legal costs
We work to ensure that every client receives the full compensation they deserve for the harm they’ve endured.
