Notable Opinions

Our attorneys have been pioneering civil rights and injury law for over two decades through litigation in federal courts across Oklahoma and the Tenth Circuit. Our published opinions and notable cases reflect our work holding law enforcement agencies, correctional institutions and government officials accountable for constitutional violations, including excessive force, sexual assault and deliberate indifference to serious medical needs. Many of these matters resulted in published appellate opinions and landmark district court decisions that continue to influence civil rights jurisprudence.
