Civil Rights and Liberties

Civil rights and liberties are at the heart of who we are as a self-governing people. They give meaning to the fundamental promise that the government will respect everyone’s unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, equally. For too many, this is an unfulfilled promise.

Whether you have been discriminated against, falsely arrested, denied due process, injured while protesting, or targeted for exercising your First Amendment rights, we take pride in holding the government accountable and helping our clients vindicate their rights inside and outside of courtroom.

We can help you with:

  • Investigate and file administrative complaints against the police

  • Section 1983 claims against government officials and agencies

  • Federal Tort Claims Act claims against the federal government

  • Hawaiʻi State Tor Liability Act claims against the state

  • Obtain an injunction against unconstitutional conduct
