A civil rights attorney can be hired when a person needs to be defended in case of racial discrimination, police brutality and sexual discrimination. They can be hired in cases where gay rights have been violated and also in hate crime cases. In general, any case which handles violation of human rights, requires the services of a civil rights attorney.
