Some of the notable court cases include the following:
In 2021 – the firm filed suit against two Windsor police officers for 4th Amendment violations against Lt. Nazario with the United States Army arising from a simple but unlawful traffic stop. “What’s going on- you are fix’n to ride the lightning son!”
9/7/2023 – The Town of Windsor Virginia settles the suit brought against it stemming from the violations to Lt. Caron Nazario. Virginia’s Attorney General Miyares stated: “What we all saw in the shocking traffic stop video involving Army Lt. Caron Nazario was an egregious and unjust use of power…I join the hundreds of thousands of good and decent law enforcement officers who stand against the kind of police misconduct we witnessed. Police are the only government entity that has a monopoly on the use of force in American society, so it’s important that they be good stewards of that responsibility and strive for excellence in the administration of justice. Excessive use of force and violations of constitutional liberties will not be tolerated in Virginia.”
In 2022 – the firm settled civil rights cases against RPD for unlawful infringement of constitutional liberties of peaceful protesters when without provocation citizens were attacked with gas and force on June 1, 2020 at Lee Circle. Claims under the 1st and 4th Amendments to the United States Constitution. READ THE TERMS RELEASED!
In 2015, the firm obtained a jury verdict against a Pamunkey Regional Corrections officer for excessive use of force against an old combat veteran, decorated with 4 bronze stars for valor in combat, who grabbed a towel to warm himself.
In 2016, involving Facebook posts, the law firm secured a 4th Circuit opinion declaring the Petersburg Police Social Media Policy unconstitutional, which intended to silence criticism of police departments.
In 2001, the law firm obtained a public apology by the Town of Front Royal for discrimination against its two black employees, together with compensatory damages.
In 2020, the law firm obtained from the Virginia Supreme Court the reversal of civil rights claims against a Petersburg officer who
used excessive force against a small black woman in a traffic stop.

2007 – Federal Suit for violations of Title VII and 1st Amendment to the United States Constitution, against Sheriff of Chesapeake, Virginia
