The ACLU is Determined to Uphold the Sixth Amendment

The ACLU is preparing a slew of lawsuits with the intent of upholding the Sixth Amendment, which upholds a various rights of an American citizen with regards to a fair trial, including the right to competent counsel, and the related Supreme Court case Gideon v. Wainwright. In Utah—where public defense attorneys are underpaid, stretched thin, and sometimes not properly trained for this work—the ACLU is hoping to set up statewide standards for public defenders, including better preparation and capping the number of cases a public defender can take on. As a part of their statewide scrutiny of Nebraska's public defender funding policies, the ACLU believes that Dawson County needs to add to their available counsel (of which there are currently only two part-time employees). Then, in Idaho, the ACLU is advocating for the rights of a public defender who they think has been unfairly released after 17 years of service.
United States Bill of Rights
While the team here at Burg & Brock aren't public defenders, we do like to think we work in a similar vein. As a personal injury attorney in Los Angeles, we protect the rights of the average American citizen who is suffering because of another person's negligence. It's a scary task to take on anyone with more resources (no matter if it's finances, legal knowledge, etc.) and the everyman needs solid representation.

Besides getting results (98% success rate) as one of the best personal injury attorneys Los Angeles has to offer, the Law Offices of Burg & Brock makes our services accessible to anyone unduly affected by an injury that wasn't their fault. We work on a contingency basis, which means you don't pay unless we reach a win. The Law Offices of Burg & Brock offers a free consultation; if you can't make it to us, we'll come to you. We'll even front the cost for your medical treatment and repair or replace your vehicle while you're waiting for results.
