Fighting to Protect the Rights of U.S. Citizens
The law office of LeBow & Associates, PLLC fights to protect the rights of all U.S. citizens. The firm has an extensive federal criminal and civil litigation practice that focuses on this area of civil leadership and civil rights defense.
The firm routinely represents those individuals that are targets of discrimination:

Discrimination exercised by public officials, municipal organizations, and state and government agencies is intolerable. The firm focuses its civil rights practice on bringing lawsuits and defending clients who have suffered offences by these agencies.
The Importance of 42 U.S.C. § 1983 Litigation
One of the most important mandates of the Civil Rights Act of 1871 occurs in 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This provision was put in place to protect the rights, privileges, and immunities of every U.S. citizen regardless of race, color, or creed.
It specifically allows deems any person acting as an agent of the government legally liable for discrimination damages they cause to another person. This boils down to many common situations:
- Employment and benefit denials
- Voting rights
- Police brutality
- False arrests
- Unwarranted search and seizure
- Evidence gathering procedure
- DNA databases
- Patriot Act provisions
The attorneys at LeBow & Associates, PLLC go to great lengths to prove the violations inflicted by state, local, and government officials to help our clients redeem the full benefits of their rights guaranteed under the law.
