Anna Christiansen is a civil rights attorney whose practice focuses on holding law enforcement and government entities accountable for constitutional violations. She represents individuals and families who have suffered harm at the hands of police officers and other government actors, including victims of excessive force, wrongful arrest, unlawful detention, and related misconduct. Her work is grounded in a commitment to ensuring that those with power are held to the standards the law demands.

Throughout her career, Christiansen has developed a reputation for meticulous case preparation and a willingness to take on difficult cases against well-resourced government defendants. She approaches each case with a thorough investigation of the facts, a command of the relevant constitutional doctrines, and an understanding of the procedural challenges that civil rights plaintiffs face in federal and state courts.

Her dedication to her clients and to the broader cause of civil rights has earned her recognition among peers and advocacy communities in her region.
