Civil Rights

At Ward & Simms, we are passionate civil rights attorneys dedicated to holding law enforcement and government entities accountable. If you or a loved one has been the victim of abuse of power, we’re ready to fight for the justice and compensation you deserve.

We aggressively handle cases involving:

• Wrongful Arrest. Detention without probable cause, invalid warrants, profiling, or mistaken identity—violating your Fourth Amendment rights and causing humiliation, lost income, and trauma. We pursue Section 1983 claims to recover damages and clear your record.

• Wrongful Prosecution (Malicious Prosecution). Charges filed or continued without evidence, often due to misconduct like withholding exculpatory information or bias. This steals years of freedom and destroys reputations. We seek exoneration, charge dismissal, and substantial civil compensation.

• Injury or Death in Jail. Harm or fatality in custody from denied medical care, neglect, assaults, or deliberate indifference—breaching constitutional protections. Families deserve answers and accountability. We handle wrongful death and personal injury claims to secure relief and push for systemic reform.

• Police Brutality Excessive. Unnecessary force, including beatings, improper tasings, or shootings—violating your right to reasonable treatment under the law. Using body camera footage, medical records, and witness accounts, we build powerful cases for maximum recovery.

Why Choose Ward & Simms? With proven success in tough civil rights battles across the country, we work on a contingency basis—no recovery, no fee. We’re committed not just to winning your case, but to protecting rights and driving change.
