Protecting Your Rights Against Discrimination

Michigan residents are protected by both federal and state civil rights laws that ensure equal treatment and prevent discrimination based on various characteristics such as race, color, religion, gender, national origin, and more. Discrimination can occur in various settings, including employment, housing, education, and interactions with law enforcement. Our civil rights attorneys are well-versed in the specific protections offered by Michigan law and are ready to advocate for you in cases involving:

  • Employment Discrimination: Navigating Michigan's anti-discrimination laws and fighting for your rights if you've faced workplace discrimination, harassment, or wrongful termination due to protected characteristics.
  • Housing Discrimination: Seeking justice if you've experienced housing discrimination based on factors such as race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, or disability.
  • Police Misconduct: Holding officers accountable for police misconduct, excessive force, or any violation of your civil rights during interactions with law enforcement.
  • Educational Discrimination: Ensuring that every student in Michigan has access to quality education without facing discrimination based on protected characteristics.
  • Hate Crimes: Supporting individuals targeted by hate crimes and seeking appropriate legal remedies.

The principle of equal protection ensures that all individuals, regardless of their race, color, religion, gender, age, disability, or other protected characteristics, are treated fairly and without bias. Discrimination can take many forms, including workplace discrimination, housing discrimination, police misconduct, and more. Our civil rights attorneys are here to advocate for you and provide legal representation.

Your Rights Under Federal Laws

Civil rights laws are designed to protect individuals from discrimination and ensure equal opportunities in various aspects of life. The U.S. Department of Justice enforces a range of laws aimed at preventing discrimination and upholding civil rights. Some of the laws we enforce include:

  • The Civil Rights Act: Prohibits discrimination in public accommodations and federally funded programs based on race, color, religion, national origin, and sex.
  • The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): Ensures that individuals with disabilities have equal access to employment, public accommodations, transportation, and government services.
  • The Fair Housing Act: Prohibits housing discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, and familial status.
  • The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA): Prevents discrimination in credit transactions based on protected characteristics.

Michigan-Specific Civil Rights Laws

In addition to federal civil rights laws, Michigan has its own laws designed to prevent discrimination and uphold civil rights. These include:

  • Michigan Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act: Protects individuals from discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, marital status, height, weight, familial status, or disability. Applies to employment, housing, education, public accommodation, and public services.
  • Michigan Fair Housing Act: Provides additional protections against housing discrimination based on characteristics such as familial status, marital status, and sexual orientation.
