Civil Rights Attorneys in Oklahoma
Civil rights attorneys handle cases where government officials — including police officers, correctional staff, and other public employees — violated your constitutional rights. These cases are most commonly brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the federal law that allows individuals to sue state and local government officials personally for constitutional violations. Whether you were beaten, falsely arrested, denied due process, or targeted because of who you are, a civil rights attorney can help you hold the government accountable.
