Civil Rights and Discrimination

New York Civil Rights and Discrimination Attorneys

Civil rights violations and discrimination can stem from a wide range of situations, employment, police brutality, and violations of the Fair Housing Act. At Gaines, Novick, Ponzini, Cossu & Venditti, LLP, we are proud to represent individuals that have had their civil rights violated or been discriminated against and take pride in our ability to make things right.

Effective Civil Rights Lawyers

State, federal, and local laws protect people from discrimination, harassment and establish protections for people’s civil rights. Nonetheless, violations occur all the time. Discrimination and the violation of individuals’ civil rights are serious offenses. They can involve significant financial, physical and emotional injuries. Our firm is committed to representing people that have suffered injuries or economic damage as a result of civil rights violations.

Our attorneys have handled hundreds of jury and non-jury trials and are prepared to represent clients dealing with a wide range of matters associated with discrimination and civil rights violations:

• Employment discrimination
• Sexual harassment
• Police brutality
• Police misconduct
• False arrest
• Malicious prosecution
• Discrimination in public accommodations, education, housing, or voting
• Harassment based on gender, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation

For other law firms, these cases can be difficult cases to pursue. Every attorney at our firm has at least eighteen years of legal experience. Our lawyers understand how to investigate discrimination cases and prepare them for trial. We understand that these cases can be highly emotional and we strive to obtain fair pre-trial settlements. However, when appropriate, we have the skill and experience to bring discrimination and civil rights cases to trial and successful verdict.
