2. Gathering evidence of discriminatory intent or impact
3. Filing notices of claim when required
4. Litigating for damages, injunctions, or policy changes
5. Coordinating with parallel agency complaints

### Examples of Civil Rights Violations

- Excessive force or wrongful detention
- Housing or employment discrimination
- Voting rights or election interference
- Disability access denials
- Retaliation for exercising free speech

### How Attorneys Pursue Civil Rights Claims

Civil rights lawyers investigate thoroughly, preserve evidence, and pursue litigation designed to secure compensation and systemic reforms.

- Engaging experts on policing, employment, or accessibility
