Civil Rights

The laws of the United States of America allow an individual whose civil rights have been violated by the government, to bring a legal action for damages caused by the violation. The laws of civil rights are complex and require an experienced civil rights attorney to navigate through the various laws to achieve success. Attorney Joseph Y. Avrahamy, achieved one of the largest civil rights verdict against the City of Los Angeles when he represented three LAPD officers whose rights were violated during the infamous Rampart Scandal. In a published 9th Circuit Opinion, the U.S. Court of Appeals affirmed the jury verdict, finding that substantial evidence supported the jury’s $15,000,000.00 award.

Attorney Avrahamy continues to fight for clients in difficult and challenging cases, when their civil rights have been violated. Attorney Avrahamy understands the challenges a person faces when their rights have been violated and how lives and careers can be ruined when government abuses its powers.
