Whether you’ve experienced racial discrimination, gender bias, police misconduct, or any other form of injustice, our firm is here to stand by your side and fight for your rights. We understand the profound impact that civil rights violations can have on your life, your livelihood, and your sense of security, and we are dedicated to holding those responsible accountable. With a deep understanding of civil rights law and a passion for justice, Johnson Cephas Law, PLLC is committed to advocating for individuals whose rights have been violated, ensuring that your voice is heard and your rights are protected.

Types of Civil Rights Cases We Handle

Johnson Cephas Law, PLLC represents clients in a wide array of civil rights cases. Our practice covers:


  • Discrimination: We fight against discrimination in all forms, including race, gender, disability, age, and religious discrimination. Whether it occurs in the workplace, housing, education, or public accommodations, we are committed to holding violators accountable and seeking justice for those who have been wronged.
  • Police Misconduct: Law enforcement officers have a duty to protect and serve the public, but when they abuse their power, they can cause significant harm. Our firm represents clients in cases of excessive force, wrongful arrest, racial profiling, and other forms of police misconduct. We are determined to hold law enforcement accountable for their actions and to seek compensation for the victims.
  • Wrongful Arrest and Detention: Being wrongfully arrested or detained is a serious violation of your civil rights. We work to challenge unlawful detentions and to seek redress for individuals who have been deprived of their liberty without due process.
  • Free Speech and Assembly Violations: The right to free speech and peaceful assembly is a fundamental part of our democracy. If your right to express your opinions or to gather with others has been unlawfully restricted, we are here to defend your constitutional freedoms.
  • Violations of Due Process: Due process is the legal requirement that the state must respect all the legal rights owed to a person. If you believe that your due process rights have been violated, whether in a criminal case, administrative hearing, or any other legal proceeding, we will fight to ensure that you receive the fair treatment you deserve.
