The Sanders Firm, P.C.: Equal Protection of Non-Suspect Classes
In New York City, the Sanders Firm, P.C., the premiere civil rights firm, offers services related to equal protection and non-suspect classes. As with equal protection and suspect classes, which are classes designated in terms of national origin, religious affiliation, alienage or race or that are defined by a statute, regulation, policy, or ordinance, equal protection also applies to non-suspect classes. Non-suspect classes are in essence those that do not fall under the classification of suspect classes. This is an important distinction as it acknowledges that if non-suspect classes also fall under the Equal Protection Clause, then everyone does.
The Protection of Non-Suspect Classes
At The Sanders Firm, P.C., we champion the civil rights of everyone. Although many may tend to think that suspect classes would be the only ones to suffer from violations of the Fourteenth and Fifth Amendment, the fact is that the government may victimize everyone and find that, their right to equal protection as guaranteed by the Constitution has been compromised.
If a government official is harassing you, you are being singled out, or that without reason you are being denied your liberty, rights or freedoms; it is important that you contact a lawyer who is well versed in civil rights law and understands the Equal Protection Clause and its ramifications in connection to being a member of a non-suspect class.
