Laufer Law Group is a New York–based civil rights and personal injury law firm that focuses on representing individuals whose rights have been violated by institutions, including law enforcement, employers, and government entities. The firm has operated for over two decades and is particularly known for handling cases involving police brutality, prison abuse, wrongful arrest, and excessive use of force.
A core part of the firm’s work centers on civil rights litigation, including claims brought under federal civil rights laws such as Section 1983, which allows individuals to sue government actors for constitutional violations. The firm represents clients in both state and federal courts, advocating for accountability in cases where individuals have experienced unlawful treatment or negligence by authorities.
In addition to civil rights cases, Laufer Law Group handles a broad range of legal matters including personal injury, medical malpractice, employment law disputes, and workplace injuries. This makes it a multi-use legal resource for individuals navigating harm caused by both public institutions and private entities.
The firm emphasizes access to justice for individuals who may otherwise lack representation, particularly those impacted by systemic issues such as misconduct within policing or incarceration systems. Its work reflects a broader legal strategy of using litigation to challenge institutional abuse and secure financial and legal remedies for victims.
Because this is a private law firm, services are case-based and typically contingent on the specifics of a claim. Individuals seeking assistance should review eligibility, consultation terms, and jurisdictional limitations before engaging.
