Civil Rights Litigation

Protecting your civil rights is essential to us. When your civil rights have been violated by the police or government, we are here to provide social justice and secure compensation for the harm that was done to you. ETKS Defense concentrates on 1983 claims, police misconduct, police brutality, and wrongful convictions, taking on cases at both state and federal levels. Whether the violation occurred during a traffic stop, protest, or in a corrections facility, we will fight for your case.

ETKS Defense partners with other firms and lawyers to tackle civil rights litigation. ETKS Defense attorney Donald Thompson works closely with NYC-based attorney Elliot Shields from Roth & Roth, LLP and the NYC civil rights litigation firm Neufeld Scheck Brustin Hoffmann & Freudenberger, LLP. Most recently, Don and Mr. Shields have worked tirelessly representing protestors in Rochester who attended the Black Lives Matter rallies in 2020.

At ETKS Defense, we continue the fight for transparency and the protection of your civil rights. Your life and liberty matters.
