Our Areas of Focus
At James Law Group, we represent clients in a wide range of civil rights cases, including:
Excessive Force and Police Misconduct
When law enforcement crosses the line, it’s critical to hold them accountable. If you or a loved one has experienced excessive force, police brutality, or misconduct, our attorneys can help you pursue justice.
Unlawful Search & Seizure
The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable search and seizure. If law enforcement conducted an illegal search, seized property without cause, or violated your privacy, we can defend your rights.
Discrimination
No one should face discrimination based on race, religion, gender, disability, or other protected statuses. Our team is committed to fighting discriminatory practices and ensuring fair treatment for all.
Failure to Protect Confidential Informants
If you or a loved one acted as a confidential informant and suffered due to law enforcement’s failure to provide adequate protection, we can hold them accountable for neglecting their duty.
Jail Assaults and Inmate Abuse
Prisoners have rights, too. If you or a loved one suffered physical or sexual abuse, neglect, or assault while incarcerated, we will fight to bring those responsible to justice.
Jail Suicide and Inmate Death
Correctional facilities have a duty to protect inmates from harm. If a loved one lost their life to suicide or negligence in custody, our team will work tirelessly to uncover the truth and seek justice on your behalf.
Injuries Caused by Police Vehicle Pursuits
Reckless police pursuits can lead to life-changing injuries. If you were injured due to a police chase, our attorneys are here to help you pursue compensation for your suffering.
Officer-Involved Shootings
The use of deadly force should always be the last resort. If you or a loved one was injured or killed in an officer-involved shooting, our firm will advocate fiercely on your behalf.
Sexual Abuse
We handle sensitive cases involving sexual abuse by those in authority, including law enforcement and correctional officers. Our compassionate and skilled team will fight to hold abusers accountable.
