Gerhardstein & Branch Co. LPA

Gerhardstein & Branch Co. LPA is committed to using the law to help those on the margins of power. Our clients are often the victims of police brutality, racial profiling, wrongful arrests, jail assaults, inadequate health care in prison, sexual harassment, and discrimination based on race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation.

We view each case as a problem that needs a solution. And we solve those problems using the federal and state constitution, civil rights statutes, state laws, the media, direct negotiations, mediation, and any other available means.

For many, full compensation is all that can be pursued. But other clients want to prevent similar abuses in the future. That means systemic reform – new policies, training, apologies, or memorials – lasting reminders to those in power to remain vigilant in protecting the rights of citizens. For us a lawsuit is not an end in itself but a means to achieve justice. In addition to litigation, we educate others and speak out publicly on behalf of those whose civil rights are most often violated – African Americans, prisoners, the LGBT community, and others whose rights are at risk.

We feel honored to do this work on behalf of our clients.
