The United States Bill of Rights was created to protect the rights of citizens. So when government officials abuse their power and violate the rights of sovereign citizens, they must be held accountable. Whitehurst, Harkness, Ozmun & Brees, P.C., has a history of successfully representing victims of civil rights abuses such as wrongful imprisonment, sexual assault, sexual harassment, use of excessive force, and police misconduct. If you have been the victim of a civil rights violation, the attorneys at our firm, serving Austin , San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, and all of Texas, can help you seek appropriate damages from the individual or institution at fault.
Although making a claim against a government official or institution can seem like a daunting task, our firm has a record of prevailing in civil rights violation cases. Our attorneys have successfully handled cases against individual defendants as well as the institutions that employ them. Recently, our firm obtained a $6.8 million recovery—one of the largest civil rights violation recoveries in U.S. history—for a wrongfully imprisoned innocent man. This case involved egregious abuses of our client’s civil rights, including a forced confession obtained by the Austin Police Department and physical abuse by a fellow inmate that resulted in brain injury. Our firm was able to recover damages not only from the City of Austin, but also from Travis County and the individual who implicated our client. It is cases like these that inspire us to continue seeking justice for victims of civil rights abuses.
In addition to obtaining significant monetary recoveries for victims of civil rights violations, our attorneys have also played a pivotal role in instigating policy changes in Austin , Texas, and throughout the U.S. For example, when our firm brought a claim against the City of Austin for sexual harassment, the city not only settled the claim, but also shut down the specific program in which the civil rights violation occurred. Our attorneys are committed to holding Austin, San Antonio, and Texas institutions accountable for their actions and strive to prevent future abuses.
