  1. Tulsa Civil Rights Attorneys

  2. David Mitchell Garrett, Jr.’s great-great-grandfather helped write the Oklahoma constitution, and ever since, the Garrett family has been committed to protecting the civil rights of the state’s citizens. A civil rights violation occurs when a person acting under color and authority of state law deprives a citizen of rights secured by the Constitution or the laws of the United States. Civil rights encompass a broad and often misunderstood area of the law that affects people more than they might realize in their everyday lives.

  3. An encounter with any law enforcement, whether a police officer, corrections officer, jail official or employee of a private company performing traditional government functions, can result in a civil rights violation. Garrett Law Center is one of the leading civil rights firms in the state, and our Tulsa civil rights attorneys have handled cases involving police misconduct and prison litigation, defending the rights and lives of those whose civil rights have been endangered.

  4. Police Misconduct The people of Oklahoma trust police officers to serve and protect them. For the most part, they do enforce the laws of the state correctly and benefit society. However, there are instances where police officers commit acts of misconduct and violate constitutional rights. The more common examples are use of excessive force, false charges to cover up bad arrests, extreme use of physical or verbal threats during interrogation, false imprisonment, coercion of women into sexual acts, and a refusal to testify against a fellow officer charged with police misconduct.

  5. These acts can also tie in to our Personal Injury practice when police misconduct results in bodily injury, as well as our Criminal Defense practice when police misconduct occurs as a part of your arrest. While most police officers do their job correctly and protect the people of Oklahoma, there are situations where power can be abused and civil rights violated as a result. People who have their civil rights violated may feel afraid to speak up, as government and police officials can often seem intimidating. The Tulsa civil rights lawyers at Garrett Law Center have proven capable of successfully standing up for the rights of the people of Oklahoma and can help if your civil rights have been violated by the people you trust to protect you. - See more at: http://garrettlawcenter.com/civil-rights-attorney/#sthash.lzzSZVCy.dpuf

  6. Prison & Jail Litigation While people are sent to correctional facilities as a result of wrongdoing, they are still entitled to protection of certain civil rights. A frequent example involves prison suicide. If an inmate has threatened suicide and the jail personnel are aware of it, they must take steps to prevent an inmate from a subsequent attempt. Also, if an inmate has a serious need requiring medical attention, prison personnel must not delay in administering help.

  7. Inmates also have civil rights that are violated in the event of prison rape or inmate-on-inmate violence. Civil rights lawyers handling suicide or wrongful death cases need to be well-versed in both medical and legal standards, as well as Personal Injury law. A Tulsa civil rights attorney at Garrett Law Center will be experienced in developing facts regarding death or a violent act and establishing the level of care that should have been implemented. Going to prison does not mean all of your rights are taken away, and Garrett Law Center has proven capable of helping inmates who have been wronged by law enforcement.

  8. Help is Available for Civil Rights Violations Police and prison official misconduct can not only result in serious physical injury, but also a loss of trust in our law enforcement process that cannot be easily rectified. Fortunately, federal law allows victims of a civil rights violation to file a lawsuit for money damages and injunctive relief (stopping the misconduct). If you believe your civil rights have been violated by law enforcement, do not let their authority intimidate you. When you hire a Tulsa civil rights lawyer at Garrett Law Center, you can be sure they will aggressively fight for the compensation you deserve as well as your peace of mind.
