Rickner | Moskovitz LLP
A Civil Rights Law Firm
(full website launching soon)
What We Stand For
Rickner Moskovitz LLP was founded with a single purpose: to protect civil rights through aggressive litigation.
We fight for victims of police violence, illegal discrimination, unconstitutional prison conditions, and other forms of government misconduct.
When the powerful abuse their power, we fight to secure our clients’ rights and recover compensation for their injuries.
Police Misconduct
We get justice for victims of police abuse including those who have been wrongfully prosecuted and locked up for years, suffered excessive force, and falsely arrested.
Wrongful Convictions
We represent those who have been wrongfully imprisoned. We have won millions in recoveries for people who spent years in prison because police coerced false confessions and prosecutors withheld key evidence.
Prison Litigation
We fight for the rights of incarcerated individuals who have been brutalized on Rikers Island and in New York’s state prisons. We have secured record verdicts - including the highest ever prisoner rights verdict in federal court in northern New York - for individuals injured in prison.
Free Speech
We defend our clients’ First Amendment right to free speech, fighting harassment and retaliation from government officials, censorship, and targets of SLAPP suits.
Religious Freedom
We fight for peoples’ right to freely observe their religious practices - in public, at work, and in prison - without unlawful interference.
Workplace Discrimination
We represent employees who have suffered unlawful workplace discrimination based on race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and pregnancy status.
