Types of Civil Rights Cases
If you have experienced a civil rights violation, you may be able to file a claim for damages against the party that committed the violation. Some of the most common types of civil rights cases include:
- Domestic Abuse ”“ Victims of domestic violence may be able to file a claim against the abuser for damages. Typically, legal action does not start until the victim is in a safe place and out of danger. Protective orders are often filed prior to a domestic abuse civil rights case.
- Property Disputes ”“ Property dispute cases concern real property (real estate). Commonly, civil rights cases over property disputes concern property line disagreements, when neighbors disagree about the boundaries of a property. As town counsels often establish a property’s boundaries, property dispute civil rights claims are often against local governments.
- Contract Disputes ”“ Civil rights cases for contract disputes result when a written contract exists between two or multiple parties, who are in disagreement with the contract’s terms.
- Employment Discrimination ”“ This type of discrimination is based on a job applicant’s or employee’s race, religion, age, gender, national origin, marital status, and/or sexual orientation.
- Housing Discrimination ”“ The majority of civil rights cases regarding housing discrimination arise from situations where a property owner refuses to rent a property to tenants of a certain race, marital status, gender, religion, familial status, disability or other protected class.
- Police Misconduct ”“ Police misconduct includes unlawful arrest, racial profiling, the use of excessive force and other violations. While law enforcement officials are commonly immune from lawsuits based their performance on the job, if a civil rights violation is committed, the victim may be eligible to file a claim against a police officer.
- Government Discrimination ”“ Employees of government agencies may face the same sort of discrimination as employees working for private businesses.
Cases involving civil rights violations are often very complex. To protect your interests, we recommend speaking with a licensed Glendale civil rights attorney at Phillips Law Group to discuss your situation.
What to Do After a Civil Rights Violation
If you are involved in a situation that may have violated your civil rights, a number of options are available to help you seek resolution. These options include:
- Informal negotiation ”“ Informal negotiation is basically a discussion between the involved parties about what happened. Often, long legal battles are avoided when all parties sit down to a conversation about the matter to resolve issues concerning civil rights.
- Mediation ”“ If informal negotiation is unsuccessful, the next option is mediation with a trained mediator. The mediator works with all involved parties in attempts to resolve civil rights disputes. Note that a mediator has no legal authority to impose a resolution on parties involved in mediation.
- Arbitration ”“ Many parties choose arbitration as disputes are often resolved much faster compared to a lawsuit, and arbitration is typically the less expensive option. One or more arbitrators serve as a neutral third party to the matter. The arbitrator(s) come to a resolution, known as an arbitration award. The award is legally binding and enforceable by the court.
- Lawsuit ”“ If no resolution can be achieved through the above avenues, the you may file a claim in state court, or another court if the claim exceeds the state court’s limitations.
Hiring a lawyer to represent you during negotiations concerning civil rights disputes can help make sure that your best interests are being protected during every step in the legal process.
Do I Lose My Rights If I End Up in Prison?
Victims of civil rights violations may think they lose their rights if they are sent to prison. Rest assured your civil rights cannot be taken away in this situation. The U.S. Constitution helps protect everyone’s civil rights.

Phillips Law Group has a proven track record of success. Juan Roque, in particular, is integral to that. He works with integrity, compassion, and an undefeated optimism that makes him a valuable asset.

Two family members were in a bad wreck a couple of years ago, and as a result called Phillips Law to represent them. Montana Thompson was the attorney assigned to the case with the help of Nemo Farr as legal assistant. Mr. Thompson litigated a very generous settlement for both my stepdaughter and her son. Because my grandson is a minor, I decided to act as conservator for him to ensure the settlement was safe and secure. Montana helped with that process, but it was Nemo who went way above and beyond the call in finding a financial institution to use for the restricted account. There were some glitches in that process but Nemo helped navigate them with a calm expertise which belies his age. I would consider them both great representatives of the level of commitment to their clients and assets to their firm.

They knew exactly how to explain the case to me in a way that I would understand it. They gave me hope that my life wasn’t over.

Great experience! Took care of pretty much everything, and I always felt like I want in good hands. Caroline Fa. was also a great help with everything. She always returned my calls and I never felt unheard. Even after my case she would still help me with my insurance documents.

I’ve been working at Phillips Law Group for nearly four years and I can confidently say this is the best personal injury firm in Arizona to work for. The firm is the best for numerous reasons but to start, Phillips Law Group gives employees opportunities for promotions and growth. I started working within the settlement department, moved to a paralegal assistant and grew to be a pre-litigation paralegal with my own case load. Each attorney I have worked for is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. Secondly, I love how Phillips Law shows appreciation for employees. They host Friday Zoom Huddles giving out PTO, goodie bags, special shout outs, bonuses and gift cards. They also host extravagant holiday parties and fun contests during the Holidays! Lastly, the firm cares about giving back to the community, which is a trait I value as well. It’s rewarding to see a fast paced firm taking time out of their busy day to pay it forward. I would highly recommend working at Phillips Law Group!

I tried a few previous law firms and none would take my car accident case with confidence they could get my anything. Phillips law group took my case and although it took around 4 years to get this case settled as I was in treatment, they never let up with insurance adjusters and they got me as much money as possible. They worked hard for me and advocated for me. Shoutout to key individuals who worked my case nonstop of the years, Robert Ross & Jasmine, you are AMAZING!
