At New York City’s premiere civil rights practice, The Sanders Firm, P.C., we are ready to handle your complaint regarding your rights as defined in and preserved by the United States Constitution. Lawsuits that focus on protecting our liberties are important for both the individual and the nation. Such cases tend to be complex and involved and they require a knowledgeable, trained, and experienced civil rights attorney. We understand the intricacies of civil rights law and how to navigate what is a treacherous route to justice. Various defenses that the government can use may result in a plaintiff losing their case. One such defense can be invoked by the states when one sues them.
Understanding the Court System
The Eleventh Amendment reminds us that if we are filing a civil rights suit that we need to do so in total comprehension and understanding of the court system, the United States Constitution, and the law. If we are not knowledgeable and experienced, we can find ourselves fighting an uphill battle to get our case heard, wasting time and money. Although the United States Constitution is often seen as protecting the rights of individuals, it actually protects, defines, and establishes the rights of the country, including states, the federal government, and individuals. The Eleventh Amendment is a good example of a part of the U.S. Constitution that does just that.
