Farhang & Medcoff offers guidance for all types of civil rights litigation. We represent individuals involved in civil rights disputes from pre-litigation efforts at resolution through the appellate process.
Your Rights Were Violated. What Should You Do Now?
Your civil rights are enshrined in the United States Constitution, state constitutions, and state and federal laws. Unfortunately, that does not mean they will not be violated. When your rights are violated, you want to hold the perpetrators accountable, and the best way to do that is often through litigation. However, individuals suing for civil rights violations face an uphill battle. Fortunately, our team at Farhang & Medcoff knows how to fight those battles. If you believe your rights have been violated, and you want to pursue legal action, we invite you to schedule a consultation with our team.
For victims of civil rights abuses and government overreach, the most important thing to remember is that careful documentation can support favorable outcomes. Whenever your rights are violated, collect all evidence related to the incident(s), and take careful notes of what occurred and where, and who witnessed it. Be sure to bring all evidence and documentation to your consultation with our attorney.

Types of Civil Rights Cases We Handle

- Police Misconduct – Victims of police brutality, wrongful arrest, excessive force, abuse of power, and illegal search and seizure deserve justice. We have the experience to take on law enforcement and government agencies.
- Workplace Discrimination – Discrimination in the workplace, including denied employment, racial profiling, sexual harassment, hostile work environment, and disability discrimination. Is illegal and actionable.
- Equal Protection – The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees equal protection under the law. We represent clients facing sex discrimination, race discrimination, and other violations of their equal protection rights.
Legal Frameworks We Use to Fight for You
- 42 USC 1983 – If you believe your rights have been violated by an individual employed by the state, county, city, or local municipality, you can sue for monetary damages, injunctive relief, and attorney’s fees under 42 U.S.C. 1983. The experienced attorneys at Farhang & Medcoff are here to help you prosecute your case under Section 1983, navigate discovery, and overcome complex qualified immunity defenses.
- Federal Tort Claims Act – If you have been injured by a federal agent or employee, you can sue for monetary damages under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. 2671 et seq. Suing the federal government is no easy task. Fortunately, the experienced attorneys at Farhang & Medcoff have done it before and are here to help you get the relief you deserve.
