Civil Rights
At THE BOIES LAW FIRM, we believe that everyone is entitled, among others, to live, work, vote, speak, practice their religion, due process, and pursue their dreams in an environment free of any kinds of discrimination regardless of their race, skin color, age, religion, sex, national origin, disability, economic status, or marital status. However, history tells us that is not always the case.
Many bedrock provisions of civil rights laws have committed our Nation to the fair treatment of our fellow citizens. It should not have to take state or federal laws to require everyone to treat each other equitably. “Fostering an environment free of discrimination is good for everyone,” says this firm’s founder and trial attorney, Jerry Boies. For example, “if you are an employer, fostering a workplace environment where employees feel valued and treated equitably, will likely achieve greater profits and higher talent retention rates for the benefits of the employer,” he continues. Nonetheless, for those who decide to violate the civil rights laws, whether it be for any discriminatory purpose or economic reasons, this firm stands ready not only to see the civil rights laws are complied with, but to advance the Founding Fathers’ creed in the Declaration of Independence that “all men are created equal.”
At this firm, when it comes to protecting our fellow neighbors’ civil rights, including individuals whose civil rights have been violated by law enforcement, we never stop fighting. Even those remedies that seem to be improbable based on the current law, we still assist our clients with the implementation of a sustainable solution to deal with them while we petition the legislature to change the law.
“The very essence of civil liberty certainly consists in the right of every individual to claim the protection of the laws, whenever he receives an injury. Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, 163, 2 L. Ed. 60 (1803). This THE BOIES LAW FIRM will be here for you and with you if your civil rights have been violated, whether it be by an employer or the police.
