Areas of Practice
VIOLATION OF CIVIL RIGHTS
If the government has violated your civil rights by either using excessive force, falsely arresting someone or causing the wrongful death of an individual, you may have a claim. This area of law requires the compassion and knowledge of an increasingly complex practice area. See our settlement in W.S., et al v. County of Santa Cruz.
Freedom for FREDERICK BURTON
Since Jonathan was a child he has been working to obtain freedom from a lifetime of incarceration for Frederick Burton. Mr. Burton was wrongfully convicted of murder in 1972 and has been incarcerated for over 40 years. Please learn more about Mr. Burton's case here:
Discrimination and Harassment
If you have ever suffered discrimination or been harassed because of your sex, sexual orientation, race, religion or ethnicity, you may have a claim against the party responsible for the conduct.
