Fighting for Justice.
Standing Up for You.
At Bakos Law, LLC, we believe that every person deserves to live free from discrimination, abuse of power, and unconstitutional treatment—regardless of race, religion, gender, disability, or socioeconomic status. When your civil rights are violated, it’s not just a personal injury—it’s an offense to the principles of justice and equality our country is built on. We’re here to hold the violators accountable.
Your Are Not Alone
If you believe your civil rights have been violated, we’re ready to help. Our first consultation is confidential and judgment-free. Let’s discuss your options and map out a plan together.
What Is Civil Rights Litigation?
Civil rights litigation involves legal action to protect individuals whose fundamental rights have been violated by government entities, law enforcement, or others acting under color of law. These rights are guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and various federal and state laws.
We represent clients in cases involving:
- Police misconduct and excessive force
- Unlawful arrests and detentions
- Jail and prison abuse
- Discrimination in public accommodations
- First Amendment violations (freedom of speech, religion, protest)
- Due process and equal protection violations
- Retaliation for exercising constitutional rights

I am a repeat client of Abby Bakos and that is due to her diligence, attention to detail, professionalism and helpfulness. She was very kind and patient while answering my questions and always had time for me. I would recommend her any time and will be using her for my next property!
