Why Choose ECBAWM?

If your civil rights have been violated — by police, a prison, an employer, a landlord, or any institution with power over your life — ECBAWM is among the elite group of law firms in the country that can fight this battle effectively. Founded by Richard Emery, who won a landmark Supreme Court case that restructured New York City's government, ECBAWM operates at the highest levels of civil rights, constitutional, and commercial litigation. The firm handles wrongful convictions, police brutality and misconduct, sexual harassment and assault by powerful figures, all forms of discrimination, disability rights, housing rights, and election law. They are a boutique — you will be represented by experienced partners, not first-year associates. For civil rights cases where the stakes are high and the opponent is powerful, this is the firm.
