Civil Rights Litigation
Protecting Constitutional Rights and Fighting Discrimination
When your civil rights are violated, it can leave you feeling powerless—but you’re not alone. At the Law Office of Kevin G. Little, we fight for individuals whose rights have been abused by government agencies, law enforcement, or other institutions of power.
We represent people throughout California in high-stakes cases involving police misconduct, excessive force, unlawful arrests, jail abuse, discrimination, and retaliation for exercising constitutional rights. No one is above the law. Whether your case involves local municipal police, county sheriff departments, or state agencies, we are here to hold wrongdoers accountable, no matter how powerful they may seem.
If you believe your rights have been violated, contact us today at (559) 342-5800 or send a message online to schedule a confidential consultation. You deserve justice—and we’re here to help you get it.
Fearless Civil Rights Advocacy Across All California Jurisdictions
Civil rights litigation requires an intimate understanding of both state statutes and federal courts. We aggressively pursue Section 1983 claims and state civil rights violations from our three regional offices, providing comprehensive coverage across the state:
- Central California (Fresno Office): Serving the Central Valley, we routinely litigate civil rights violations, jail neglect, and law enforcement misconduct claims within the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, holding local valley municipalities and county agencies accountable.
- Northern California (San Francisco Office): We represent individuals across the greater Bay Area in institutional discrimination and police excessive force cases in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
- Southern California (San Diego Office): Protecting the constitutional rights of residents throughout San Diego and SoCal, we bring powerful litigation against corporate and government overreach within the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.
Key Areas of Our Civil Rights Practice
- Police Misconduct & Excessive Force: If you or a loved one has been subjected to unreasonable force, illegal search and seizure, or police brutality, we will fight to expose the truth.
- Unlawful Arrests & Wrongful Detention: Being detained without probable cause is a direct violation of your Fourth Amendment rights. We hold law enforcement agencies accountable for unlawful stops and false imprisonments.
- Jail Abuse & Medical Neglect: Inmates do not lose their constitutional rights at the jailhouse door. We represent victims of correctional officer abuse, dangerous jail conditions, and deliberate indifference to serious medical needs in county jails and state prisons across California.
- Discrimination & Retaliation: We protect individuals from unlawful discrimination based on race, gender, religion, national origin, or disability, as well as illegal retaliation by employers or government entities for whistleblowing or free speech.
