Civil Rights

Our Constitution guarantees that “[n]o State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”Our firm protects the constitutional rights of our clients by holding government officials accountable when they tread on those rights. When there is a rush to accuse the innocent without probable cause or the use of unnecessary brutal force in dealing with people, Robbins Curtin Millea & Showalter is there to protect rights against governmental abuse. When a governmental entity causes injury, it is only fair that the government accepts the same responsibility that any private person must. Whether the case involves state claims of wrongful arrest, wrongful imprisonment, malicious prosecution or police brutality or federal claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the Civil Rights Act. We are experienced in both state and federal courts.

Over the years, we have represented individuals whose lives were taken, or whose reputations were ruined through the wrongful actions of government. As Barry Goldwater once said, “The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.”
