A significant percentage of the cases filed against the firm’s public entity clients involve the litigation of complex constitutional issues. All of the attorneys at Angelo, Kilday & Kilduff Attorneys at Law regularly litigate cases concerning amendments to the U.S. Constitution, including:

• The First Amendment protections of the freedom of religion, free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to peaceably assemble
• The Fourth Amendment, which protects citizens from illegal search and seizure without probable cause
• The Seventh Amendment, which spells out the right to trial by jury
• The Eighth Amendment, which prohibits excessive bail or cruel and unusual punishment
• The Fourteenth Amendment, which protects people from the deprivation of life, liberty or property, without due process of law

Such challenges citing these amendments and other aspects of the U.S. Constitution arise in a wide variety of factual settings involving:

• Law enforcement, including the disclosure of someone’s constitutional rights during an arrest
• Employment, including freedom of discrimination in hiring, pay, promotions and firing
• Zoning, including prohibitions of religious or racial discrimination in granting permits and approving zoning petitions
• Child welfare, including the equitable application of child welfare protection actions, such as taking children into protective custody
• Government entitlements, including approval for eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability (SSD) without illegal discrimination related to race or other protected characteristics
