At The Law Office of Barry E. Janay, P.C. (LOBEJ), we believe in fighting for justice and holding those in power accountable. Civil rights violations aren’t just legal issues—they’re personal, affecting lives, livelihoods, and the fundamental freedoms that define our democracy. If your rights have been violated, we’re here to take action.

Our attorneys have the experience, grit, and strategic mindset to handle civil rights cases at the highest level. Whether you’ve been a victim of police misconduct, racial discrimination, workplace injustice, unlawful imprisonment, or any other rights violation, we fight for justice with tenacity and precision. You don’t just need a lawyer—you need a team that knows how to win. That’s what we do at LOBEJ.

What We Handle

Civil rights cases take many forms, and our firm is well-equipped to tackle even the toughest battles. Some of the most common cases we handle include:

Police Misconduct & Brutality

Law enforcement is supposed to serve and protect—not violate the rights of the people they swore to defend. If you or a loved one has been a victim of:

Excessive force (unwarranted use of weapons, severe beatings, or violence)
False arrest or wrongful imprisonment
Racial profiling or unlawful searches
Wrongful shootings or tasings
Death in police custody

We take these cases head-on. Police departments, government agencies, and municipalities have deep pockets and aggressive legal teams—but we know how to fight back. We pursue lawsuits, demand accountability, and push for the justice you deserve.

Employment Discrimination & Wrongful Termination

You have the right to work in an environment free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. If you’ve faced unfair treatment based on:

Race, color, or national origin
Gender or sexual orientation
Age (40+)
Disability or medical conditions
Pregnancy or parental status
Religious beliefs

We hold employers accountable. Whether it’s wrongful termination, retaliation for whistleblowing, unequal pay, or failure to provide reasonable accommodations, LOBEJ fights for employees who have been mistreated.

Housing Discrimination & Fair Housing Violations

Your right to secure housing should never be denied based on race, disability, family status, or any other protected category. If a landlord, property management company, mortgage lender, or homeowner’s association has discriminated against you, we take action under the Fair Housing Act and state laws to ensure justice.

First Amendment Violations (Freedom of Speech & Assembly)

Your right to speak freely, protest, and express yourself without fear of retaliation is one of the cornerstones of American democracy. If your employer, government officials, or law enforcement have:

Retaliated against you for free speech
Shut down lawful protests
Engaged in censorship or suppression of political opinions

We fight to protect your constitutional rights.

Prisoner Rights & Inhumane Conditions

The government doesn’t get to ignore constitutional protections just because someone is behind bars. If you or a loved one has suffered abuse, medical neglect, excessive force, or inhumane prison conditions, we take the fight to correctional facilities and hold them accountable.

How we win

We don’t just take cases—we take on entire systems. Civil rights cases often involve fighting against government agencies, law enforcement, major corporations, and other powerful entities. These institutions don’t admit fault easily, but we know how to build cases that force them to pay attention.

Our Approach

Aggressive Legal Strategy – We’re not here to play defense. We go after evidence, file lawsuits, and push cases forward to get you real results.

Uncovering the Truth – Civil rights cases often require extensive investigation. We work with experts, analyze video footage, obtain police records, and build a case that stands up to scrutiny.

Negotiation & Litigation – Some cases can be settled outside of court, but when necessary, we take cases all the way to trial. We don’t back down.

Fighting for Maximum Compensation – Civil rights violations often come with significant damages, including financial loss, emotional distress, and punitive damages. We fight for the highest possible compensation.
