Worst attorney website ever
No matter how I worded my issue, FindLaw kept changing my search terms (civil rights violation, police brutality, disability discrimination) to irrelevant BS, then kept giving me the same attorneys over and over - none of which accept police brutality/civil rights claims from living disabled people. I know this because I had already called all of them and was told they don't do civil rights cases, and one actually said I must be dead before I can hire them. INSULTING TO BOTH PARTIES: FindLaw sent me to lawyers whose websites state they only help people of color. I know these young attorneys want to help a niche group of clients. Given the history of the US, I don't have a problem with their private business decision. They are VERY busy. However, having to type my skin color into the search bar just to see FindLaw NOT sort these lawyers out of my results demonstrates that FindLaw itself discriminates against not only these attorneys of color but other humans (coughwhitedisabledwomencough). Search parameters of 30 miles got changed to 150 miles, smaller towns got changed to my state's capitol, and to top all this off FindLaw sent me the names of lawyers who DEFEND police who beat up and murder people of color and disabled people. FindLaw also sent me to family law, employment law (what part of "disabled" does FindLaw not understand?) and criminal law. Being disabled is NOT a crime, FindLaw, but being assaulted by police because of your disability IS wrong! If you have to find a civil rights/police brutality lawyer while white, disabled and in possession of a vagina, YOU WILL NOT FIND THAT LAWYER ON FINDLAW!
