Enforcing your constitutional protections

Freeley prosecutes civil rights violations against the government such as:

• Interference with free speech or peaceful assembly
• Interference with religious practices
• Illegal searches and seizures of property
• Police brutality
• False arrest and unlawful imprisonment

• Unlawful interrogation
• Unfair trial

Freeley provides insightful advice and implements successful strategies for every phase of the judicial process: settlement, trial and appeal.

Defending your rights in the private sector
Federal civil rights legislation protects citizens from discrimination in employment based upon a variety of factors. You may have a claim for monetary damages if you have been denied employment, promotion or equal pay for any of the following reasons:

• Age (ADEA)
• Disability (ADA)
• Gender (Title VII, EPA, Lily Ledbetter Act, FLSA)
• Genetic information (Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008)
• National origin (Title VII)
• Pregnancy (Title VII, FMLA)
• Race or ethnicity (Title VII)
• Religion (Title VII)
• Workplace retaliation (Title VII, ADEA, ADA, EPA)
• Sexual harassment (Title VII)

Discrimination claims are often difficult to prove. Failure to file a prompt claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) may cost you the right to have your case heard. If you believe you’ve been the unfair target of discriminatory practices, contact the Law Office of Austin J. Freeley as soon as possible.
