Civil Rights Practice: Defending Our Clients’ Civil Liberties and Civil Rights

In state and federal court, our attorneys with our firm have also successfully prosecuted claims for violations of the Fair Housing Act and RLUIPA, as well as gender discrimination, and successfully defended claims for race discrimination against the Archdiocese of New York in the selection of players for a youth basketball team. Attorneys from our firm have also vindicated the First Amendment religious rights of our clients, including the right of a Christian group to display religious symbols on public property during Christmas, the right of a Muslim community to worship, the right of an Orthodox community to housing; the right of a political candidate to display campaign signs.
