Every person in the United States is entitled to certain rights. This includes the right to be treated without discrimination based on your age, sex, race, disability, religion, or ethnicity, and the right to be afforded "due process" of law when you are dealing with government agencies (including police, schools, and state, city and county offices). The Law Office of Peter L. Fels, P.C. is interested in helping individuals protect themselves from violations of these rights.

Peter has experience in many types of civil rights cases. He focuses on illegal discrimination in public places, housing and employment, and on improper police conduct.

If you believe your civil rights were violated when you were arrested or during a police investigation or prosecution, Peter usually will not take your case unless you were never charged or have been acquitted. If you have an ongoing criminal case or complaint about police or jail procedures, or wish to appeal, you should contact a criminal defense attorney.

If you feel that your civil rights have been violated, call us to schedule a consultation.
