New York offers some of the broadest civil rights protections in the country, enforced through multiple agencies and robust legislation like the New York Human Rights Law. It protects against discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, religion, and more—across employment, housing, education, and public life. Civil rights law here also addresses police accountability, voting access, and public protest rights. Whether in a city borough or a rural county, skilled legal counsel helps New Yorkers hold institutions accountable and assert their rights in a complex and demanding legal system.
