A person’s civil rights are those which are guaranteed and protected by the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, including freedom of speech, the press, freedom from discrimination, etc. While many laws are created by local governments or judges, civil rights law is derived from the U.S. Constitution and is designed to protect the rights of people. If you believe those rights have been violated, you need competent and aggressive legal representation on your side. Fortunately, you’ve come to the right place.

HOW CAN I DETERMINE WHETHER I HAVE A VALID CIVIL RIGHTS OR DISCRIMINATION CLAIM?

Civil rights include protection from unlawful discrimination, equal protection under the law, and rights to due process. Civil rights laws prohibit discrimination on the basis of protected classes, determined on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, age, sex, and religion. If you believe that you have been discriminated against on the basis of a protected class, you may have a valid civil rights or discrimination claim. Many civil rights claims may first be brought before neutral fact-finding agencies or commissions that investigate allegations of discrimination.

WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON CIVIL RIGHTS CASES?

The most common kind of civil rights cases involve allegations of police misconduct and police brutality. Unlike other civil cases, there is an extended notification and waiting period before you can file your lawsuit. You are required to formally notify the government officer, agent, or organization of your injury or the harm they caused you and wait for a period of at least sixty days for the government officer, agent, or organization to respond to or settle your claim. Only after doing so may you file a lawsuit against the offending person or organization.

José Báez is an excellent Attorney. He helped me through one of the toughest times in my life. He gave me support and was very professional and of high quality. José was always accessible and always returns my calls without delay. I just can’t say enough about José Báez. Anybody who’s been injured in a truck accident, or any other accident should definitely hire José Báez. I strongly recommend Mr. Báez.

- Elizabeth S.

Not only have I had the pleasure of working alongside Jose, but I’ve also been on the receiving end of his handling of the transference of my father’s estate. Jose and the Baez Legal Group demonstrated a kind of versatility, accountability, and dedication rarely seen outside of large international law firms. He handles a wide variety of cases with seeming ease, often surprising both his clients and I with the scope of his knowledge of different legal disciplines. Jose is not one of the myriads of lawyers that always seem too busy to allocate the proper amount of care and time to their clients; in fact, he was often in the habit of reaching out first, even if just to see how we’re doing. Should you wish to receive an unprecedented amount of excellence in the handling of your case, the Baez Legal Group should be your first and only resort.
