Civil Rights


“ The Framers of the Bill of Rights did not purport to 'create' rights. Rather, they designed the Bill of Rights to prohibit our Government from infringing rights and liberties presumed to be preexisting. ”
— William K. Brennan, Jr., U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justine, (1906-1997)

One would be hard-pressed to find something Americans value more highly than the freedoms enjoyed in the United States.

Since the creation of our nation, the civil rights of our citizens have been steadfastly defended against the growing powers of the federal and state governments. Some may even say that defense of these rights is more necessary now than ever.

Civil rights lawyers at The Portela Law Firm, P.C. are ready to join you in the fight against those who wish to deprive men and women of the liberties guaranteed by law. Specializing in cases of police brutality, our firm is prepared to bring civil rights lawsuits against government agencies that have overstepped their authority.
