Constitutional Law and Civil Rights Litigation
Our firm places a particular emphasis on representing individuals in religious liberty and free speech cases as well as other matters involving the violation of an individual's constitutional or civil rights. Cases of this nature can arise in a variety of settings such as public schools, private workplaces, and governmental meetings. Often these disputes can be resolved quickly out of court. Other times they may necessitate filing a complaint with an administrative agency, like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and sometimes they require filing lawsuits in state or federal court. Whatever might be the right answer, Tyler has the knowledge and ability to provide zealous and effective representation at all stages of the matter, even the U.S. Supreme Court.
