Civil Rights Laws
Michigan was the first state in the nation to include civil rights protections in its constitution in 1964. The Michigan Department of Civil Rights (MDCR) has one of the most important jobs in the government because it is called to "investigate alleged discrimination and to secure the equal protection of civil rights."
Our civil rights attorneys have a thorough knowledge of the statutes and rules laid out by the MDCR and are dedicated to pursuing justice on your behalf. We can thoroughly research your case, enforce civil rights laws, and prevent discrimination based on the laws clearly laid out by the Michigan Department of Civil Rights. The Oliver Law Group, P.C. gets results by focusing on your needs.
