Civil Rights are human rights. The Elliot Firm believes that all persons have the right to basic human dignity, to be treated fairly by their government and by the businesses they trade with, and by their fellow human beings. The Elliot Firm brings lawsuits to defend civil rights and human rights, whether those rights have been infringed by federal, state, or local government, publicly-held corporations, or private businesses and individuals.
