Join Jack and Deborah and NYC-based civil rights attorney Phil Hines, Esq., a partner in the firm Held & Hines, LLP, where Phil concentrates his practice on civil police misconduct, correctional officer misconduct, false arrest, excessive force and malicious prosecution cases. In short, Phil represents the most vulnerable folks among us, such as his diabetic client who was incarcerated at Rikers Island for failing to make a child support payment, then denied essential medical care and his insulin pump, and ultimately hospitalized with permanent injuries.
Phil also represents transgender inmates who are sexually assaulted by correction officers or other inmates, in difficult lawsuits against the city or state. Learn the important filing deadlines and what to do if it happens to you.
Join Jack Tuckner and Deborah O’Rell as they discuss New York’s brand new Women’s Equality Agenda, which will soon provide many powerful and enhanced legal protections for working women facing sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination and unequal pay.
On the eve of the historic marriage equality arguments before the Supreme Court, Jack Tuckner and Deborah O’Rell lead a discussion on the significance of the case, and what it means for the LGBT movement. Against this backdrop, Jack and Deborah are joined by Stefan Oxley and Karel Jaros to discuss the wider implications of any marriage equality decision by the Court, and a closer examination of LGBT anti-discrimination laws throughout the country, including in employment, public accommodations, and housing.
