Connecticut Federal Litigation Attorney
Numerous legal rights and responsibilities of government entities, employers, retailers, contractors, businesses, and individuals are governed by federal law. When property rights and civil rights are violated, those responsible can be held financially and legally liable through federal litigation.
Denial of due process is a common issue in civil rights and property rights cases. Too often, a governing authority or contractual agent fails or refuses to afford an aggrieved party the rights guaranteed to them under the U.S. Constitution or federal law. Or, procedures and policies developed in order to ensure due process are violated.
Attorney Barrie L. Goldstein represents clients who have suffered harm due to a denial of due process, as well as those involved in a range of other disputes under federal law.
If you believe your rights have been violated or you have suffered financial harm due to the actions of a government entity, contact Attorney Barrie L. Goldstein, LLC, in Washington Depot, Connecticut, and schedule an appointment.

Holding Government Accountable and Re-establishing the Balance of Power
Federal litigation is often necessary because representatives of the government make the mistake of thinking they aren't accountable to anyone. When government agents engage in an arbitrary exercise of power and ignore due process considerations, they need to be held to account.
In the wake of their actions, these governing authorities often leave behind an incriminating paper trail of e-mails, internal memos, or decisions that are recoverable during the discovery phase of a trial. Barrie L. Goldstein is a skilled forensic analyst of documents, often able to expose policies, procedures and laws that have resulted in the violation of her clients' rights.

When her client wanted to install a gate to prevent vehicular traffic from using her land, the governing township refused to grant her request. Ms. Goldstein reviewed the actions of the governing authority and exposed numerous ways in which it denied her client the due process guaranteed by the U.S. and state constitutions.
