New York and New Jersey Civil Rights Attorney


Did the police brutalize you or someone you love? Were you arrested without probable cause? Fired from a public job or expelled from a public university without a fair hearing? Punished for speaking out or exercising your First Amendment rights? Arrested at a Protest? Discriminated against by a government actor? Mistreated while in custody?

When government officials abuse their power, they don’t just break the law — they violate your constitutional rights. And we hold them accountable.

The Farrow Firm brings claims for violations of civil rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

Common cases include:

  • Police misconduct and excessive force
  • False arrest
  • Malicious prosecution
  • Due process violations
  • First Amendment retaliation
  • Equal protection violations
  • Conditions of confinement

We sue municipalities, police departments, public universities, and individual officers who overstep their authority.

If the state or its agents have wronged you, we fight to hold them accountable.
