Fighting Back Against Civil Rights Violations
Below are some of the most common civil rights issues we help clients fight:
Racial Profiling
Nobody should feel targeted because of the color of their skin. Yet, racial profiling is a painful reality for so many. Being stopped, questioned, or surveilled because of your race is unfair and unjust. If it happens to you or someone you love, our civil rights lawyer can help you seek justice.
Illegal Searches and Seizures
Your home. Your car. Your personal space. These are places where you should feel safe. But when law enforcement barges in uninvited or searches without cause, they shatter that safety. These illegal seizures violate the Constitution, and they violate your trust. You are not powerless — the law is on your side to push back The Law Offices of Carlos Diaz-Cobo will show you how to leverage your legal rights.
Police Brutality
When those sworn to protect us instead use force to harm, entire communities suffer. Police brutality doesn’t just leave physical scars--it leaves emotional ones that linger long after the incident. To fight it is to fight for fairness, justice, and an end to abusive power. That’s why we’re here.
False Arrests
Being thrown into handcuffs for no reason is more than a mistake--it’s a betrayal of trust. False arrests can leave you feeling helpless and humiliated. These violations aren’t rare, and they often stem from abuse of power. If this has happened to you, don’t stay silent. Let us help.
False Imprisonment
What if you were held against your will without reason or justification? False imprisonment damages lives, leaving victims scared and uncertain. Whether it happens at the hands of police or private security, no one should have to endure such treatment. You have the right to hold those responsible accountable. We know how to do it.
Wrongful Convictions
The injustice of wrongful convictions steals years, memories, and futures. Families are torn apart, and lives derail because of mistakes that should never have happened. If this is your story, you aren’t alone. We’ll show you the ways to fight for your freedom, your reputation, and your rights.
Cruel and Unusual Punishments
Just because you or a loved one is serving a prison sentence doesn’t mean your rights go out the window. An authority no less than the U.S. Constitution prohibits “cruel and unusual punishment.” Yet overcrowded cells, neglectful care, and abuse within these walls show how broken the system can be. The Law Offices of Carlos Diaz-Cobo fights for dignity and humane treatment on behalf of prisoners.
