Investigating claims, gathering evidence, and filing lawsuits against employers, landlords, or government agencies in Maryland across the following areas:
Civil rights violations can impact your job, housing, or personal freedom. At Flood Law LLC, our Maryland civil rights attorney represents individuals facing discrimination, police misconduct, and other injustices.
Here are the types of cases we handle.
Employers cannot deny jobs, promotions, or fair pay based on race, gender, disability, or age. Retaliation for reporting discrimination is also illegal. Federal laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the ADA protect workers from unfair treatment.
We represent employees who experience wrongful termination, wage disparities, or harassment in the workplace. Legal options include filing EEOC complaints and lawsuits or seeking reinstatement and compensation.
Hypothetical Example: A Black woman in Baltimore is repeatedly passed over for promotions while less-qualified white colleagues advance. If she contacts us, we could gather company records and file a claim for racial discrimination.
Unlawful arrests, racial profiling, and excessive force violate the Fourth Amendment. Victims of police misconduct may suffer serious injuries, false charges, or emotional distress.
We file Section 1983 lawsuits against law enforcement for civil rights violations, using body cam footage, witness statements, and expert testimony to hold officers accountable.
Hypothetical Example: A young man in Prince George’s County is tackled and arrested at a protest despite following police orders. If he contacts us, we could file a lawsuit for excessive force and demand accountability.
A wrongful conviction can destroy lives, leading to years in prison for a crime never committed. Mistakes like false confessions, racial bias, and withheld evidence contribute to these injustices.
We fight wrongful convictions by challenging evidence, exposing prosecutorial misconduct, and filing post-conviction appeals. Compensation may be available under Maryland’s wrongful imprisonment statute.
Hypothetical Example: A man in Montgomery County is convicted based on unreliable eyewitness testimony. If he contacts us, we could seek DNA testing and a retrial to clear his name.
Landlords and mortgage lenders cannot deny housing, increase rent, or refuse accommodations based on race, disability, or family status. The Maryland Fair Housing Act protects tenants from unfair treatment.
We help tenants facing eviction, rental denials, or predatory lending file complaints with the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights or pursue legal action.
Hypothetical Example: A landlord in Annapolis refuses to rent to a single mother, claiming “family noise restrictions.” If she contacts us, we could file a housing discrimination complaint and seek damages.
Businesses and government agencies cannot deny services based on race, disability, religion, or free speech. Public accommodations must be accessible, and refusal of service for discriminatory reasons is illegal.
We represent clients in cases involving denied access, wrongful arrests in public spaces, or refusal to provide reasonable accommodations. Legal options include filing lawsuits or complaints with the Maryland Office of Civil Rights.
Hypothetical Example: A wheelchair user in Frederick is denied entry to a restaurant due to lack of accessibility. If they contact us, we could file a legal claim to enforce compliance and seek damages.
Civil rights violations can be hard to prove, and those responsible often deny wrongdoing. At Flood Law LLC, we gather strong evidence, file lawsuits, and push for policy changes to hold violators accountable.
We collect witness statements, employment records, video footage, and police reports to build strong cases. In workplace discrimination cases, we analyze hiring practices and termination records.
For police misconduct or housing discrimination, we use body cam footage, expert testimony, and statistical analysis to prove unfair treatment.
We take legal action against employers, landlords, and government agencies under laws like Title VII, the ADA, and the Maryland Fair Housing Act. We seek lost wages, damages for emotional distress, and compensation for wrongful imprisonment.
When necessary, we take cases to trial.
We fight to change unfair policies in workplaces, housing, and law enforcement. By working with lawmakers and civil rights groups, we push for stronger protections and accountability to prevent future violations.

Below are key areas where these laws provide safeguards.
Civil rights cases require strong evidence and legal strategy to succeed. At Flood Law LLC, we fight back against denials and legal loopholes used by employers, police, and landlords to avoid responsibility.
Employers rarely state bias in hiring or termination decisions, and police misconduct often happens without clear documentation. Without direct proof, cases rely on circumstantial evidence.
Government agencies and businesses frequently use legal defenses to protect themselves. Police may claim qualified immunity, employers cite performance issues, and landlords disguise discrimination as neutral policy enforcement. These tactics make legal action more difficult.
We use expert testimony, historical discrimination data, internal documentation, and witness statements to prove violations.
Hypothetical Example: A Baltimore man is repeatedly denied apartment rentals after revealing he uses a housing voucher. By comparing rental approvals and landlord statements, we build a case for housing discrimination.
Victims of civil rights violations may recover financial and legal remedies. Wrongful termination cases can result in lost wages, job reinstatement, and back pay. Employment discrimination and housing violations may also lead to settlements or court-ordered compensation.
Pain and suffering damages may be awarded for emotional distress, especially in cases of wrongful imprisonment, excessive force, or workplace harassment. Courts also impose punitive damages against corporations, government agencies, or law enforcement for severe civil rights violations.
Hypothetical Example: A Prince George’s County resident is falsely arrested and jailed for a week due to mistaken identity. Our firm could sue for wrongful imprisonment, seeking compensation for lost wages, emotional distress, and punitive damages against the responsible agency.
Civil rights cases in Maryland often involve state and federal courts, key agencies that enforce anti-discrimination laws, and legal recourse for those facing violations. These organizations investigate claims, enforce civil rights protections, and provide legal recourse for those facing violations.
Maryland has recently implemented significant reforms to enhance civil rights protections. These changes aim to increase police accountability, prevent housing discrimination, and expand workplace rights.

If you faced unfair treatment due to race or gender, disability, or other protected status by an employer, landlord, or law enforcement, your constitutional rights have been violated. Victims may have grounds to file a civil lawsuit against the responsible party. A civil rights law firm can review your case.
Maryland law prohibits many different forms of workplace discrimination, including bias based on nationality, race, gender, disability, or family responsibilities. Employers cannot deny medical care, tuition benefits, or promotions without justification. Victims may be able to file a state civil rights claim with the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights (MCCR).
Yes, if you were wrongfully convicted, placed in police custody without justification, or harmed by excessive force, you may have grounds to pursue a civil case. Maryland law now allows greater police accountability. Victims can file a civil lawsuit seeking fair financial compensation for personal injury or wrongful detention.
If a landlord discriminated against you based on nationality, disability, or family status, you can help file an initial complaint with MCCR or HUD. These civil cases encompass rental denials, unfair lease terms, and refusal of accommodations. Acting quickly is important since deadline restrictions apply.
Timelines vary. State civil rights claims through MCCR can take months, while civil lawsuits in Maryland state courts may last one to three years. Factors include the defendant’s legal strategy, available evidence, and whether the case settles or proceeds to the courtroom. Expedite your claim by acting quickly.
