Civil Rights Claims

Civil Rights Mediation

Civil rights disputes involve fundamental constitutional protections and often carry significant emotional and financial stakes for all parties. Mediation provides a confidential forum where these sensitive matters can be discussed candidly and resolved without the public exposure of a trial.

Drawing on decades of experience defending civil rights claims on behalf of municipal clients, Darcee S. Siegel brings specialized knowledge of Section 1983 litigation, qualified immunity analysis, equal protection claims, and due process requirements to every civil rights mediation.
