Civil Rights

Attorney In Philadelphia
Hough v. City of Philadelphia

Were your civil rights violated?

Civil rights laws are complicated. Speak with an attorney today to understand your options.

Are you unsure of whether what happened to you is a civil rights violation? Don’t worry. This is common. The rights guaranteed to us by our federal and state governments are complicated by nuanced statutes, codes, and case law precedents. A civil rights lawyer can help you complete an accurate analysis of your situation. The first step is to reach out for a consultation.

Are you worried that it will be too much hassle or you will face scrutiny if you complain? This is also a common reaction to having your civil rights violated. A civil rights attorney can also protect you from retaliation, harassment, or other forms of backlash when you challenge an individual, business, or government agency for violating your rights.

Can you collect money damages for civil rights violations? The most important remedy is to stop the violation of your civil rights if the bad acts are ongoing. But yes, it is possible to sue in federal and state courts for damages you suffer as a result of civil rights violations. Like any other civil cause of action, you will need to prove your case by a preponderance of the evidence and establish damages. Attorney Stephen Stewart can help you evaluate your case.

Stephen displayed exceptional professionalism, decorum, and negotiating skills to resolve a complex case involving several individuals - all in one day! He simply made the problem disappear. If I ever need legal representation in PA again, I’m definitely calling Stephen.

When I moved back home to Pennsylvania from California, I went to Stephen for guidance on the cannabis laws in PA. Coming from a state where it's almost completely decriminalized, I wanted to make sure I followed all of the rules for my medicinal use. Stephen answered all of my questions and even called me back with the answer to one question he needed to double-check. I would definitely recommend him.

My wife and I hired Stephen to guide the estate planning process for us. He was extremely knowledgeable, well organized and thoughtful as he discussed all of our options and thoroughly explained the benefits and downsides of each and every one. I really felt like we were able to make informed decisions on such an important topic thanks to his expertise. I would highly recommend Attorney Stewart for any of your legal needs.

I hired attorney Stephen Stewart to represent me in negotiating a business deal for use of one of my Spotify playlists. We were able to strike a deal for $50,000 for my services. I never thought I'd get that much. He wrote the contract and helped me go back and forth with the other side to negotiate the terms. I went back to Stephen for legal advice on employment law when I was changing jobs. He was great for that also. Very knowledgeable and very easy to work with.
