Civil Rights Litigation

Hutchinson Black and Cook is a leading law firm standing up for people subjected to civil rights violations. This includes discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, and disability status.

In recent years, we have successfully fought for clients:

Subjected to mistreatment and abuse at the hands of police and in jails and prisons;
Discriminated against based on race, gender, and marital status by educational institutions, at work, and in places of public accommodation;
Punished for exercising their rights to free speech; and
Demanding access to the ballot in state and local elections.

Our work has resulted not only in compensation for the victims of these civil rights violations, but also in systemic change to the policies and practices of public entities.

HBC also regularly assists Sexual Abuse Victims and clients with Immigration needs.
