Civil Rights Violations in CA
Effective Representation from Skilled Attorneys
It is normal to expect our police officers to protect us from harm, but
sometimes they are the ones we need to be protected from. At The Cardoza
Law Offices in Walnut Creek, California, our San Francisco Bay Area
civil rights attorneys are dedicated to preserving the rights of all clients from anyone who
would violate those civil rights.
