Overview
The civil rights lawyers at Robins Kaplan have obtained over $80 million in verdicts and settlements for victims of unconstitutional governmental conduct and police brutality. We have successfully represented people in lawsuits involving a variety of claims, including arrests, seizures, use of deadly force, excessive force, vehicle pursuits, prison suicides and assaults, and unconstitutional takings. In addition, we have litigated matters involving claims under the 4th, 5th, 8th, and 14th Amendments to the United States Constitution.
Civil rights violations can happen to anyone. Our lawyers have represented clients of all different ages, races, genders, backgrounds and socio-economic statuses.
