Protect Your Civil Rights with an Experienced Attorney
When employers abuse their power by infringing upon your civil rights, it can cause significant financial damage, in addition to the emotional and psychological consequences. Pennsylvania state and federal laws are designed to protect the civil rights of employees and applicants from discrimination and harassment, but incidences still occur that deserve to be aggressively pursued. Having an experienced civil rights lawyer by your side can help you fight back.

The Oliver Law Firm, located in Springhouse and serving communities in Eastern Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia metro area, has found successful resolutions for clients who have been deprived of the freedom of speech, freedom of religion and other freedoms, including their right to work in a safe environment.

If it seems like it may not be worth the trouble to pursue a violation of your civil rights in court, it is at least in your best interest to discover if your case is unique or if there have been others like you who have suffered similar injustices. Civil rights litigation does not only allow you to pursue damages; it can also help prevent future incidences by exposing the behavior.
Civil Rights Violations in the Workplace
Violations of your civil rights can occur in many different ways and can come from many different people within the workplace, including managers, supervisors and other employees. Your place of employment may have policies regarding these violations and how to deal with them, but if they do not or if those policies are not being followed, it is important to hold them accountable.
These violations can include:
- Denial of proper wages, overtime pay, vacation pay or other compensation and benefits
- Sexual and racial harassment
- Employment discrimination of the basis of age, gender, disability, religion, race and national origin
- Infringements of your freedoms of speech, religion and other Constitutionally-granted freedoms
You may not be familiar with all of your rights during the course of employment, including laws against wrongful termination or retaliation for reporting civil rights violations in the first place. The Oliver Law Firm can help you become aware of these rights so you can protect them in the future.
