Our Legal Services

Powerful legal advocacy for people whose futures are on the line.

When your future is on the line, you need more than legal help — you need a team that fights to win.

You may have a wrongful death case if your loved one died due to:

  • Police violence or in-custody death

  • Dangerous workplace conditions or employer negligence

  • A reckless driver or unsafe public area

  • Medical neglect or failure to respond to a known risk

Wrongful Death

When a life is lost because someone failed to act responsibly, we make sure that loss isn’t ignored.

Wrongful death cases demand more than just legal knowledge — they demand heart, grit, and relentless advocacy. We stand with families in grief and in battle, fighting for answers, accountability, and a future that honors the life that was taken.

You may have a civil rights case if you’ve experienced:

  • Discrimination based on race, gender, religion, disability, or sexual orientation

  • Suppression of your right to protest, speak, or assemble

  • Illegal arrests or harassment by government actors

  • Abuse or neglect while in custody or institutional care

Civil Rights Litigation

You have rights — and when they’re violated, we make it our mission to make it right. We don’t just file lawsuits. We hold systems accountable. If you’ve been targeted, silenced, or mistreated by those in power, we step in with the full force of the law and demand justice. This is more than legal work — it’s a fight for human dignity.

Police-Misconduct.jpg

You may have a case if you or someone you love has experienced:

  • Excessive force during an arrest or detainment

  • Injury or death during a police encounter

  • Racial profiling, harassment, or unlawful stops

  • Medical neglect or abuse while in custody

Police Misconduct & Excessive Force

When law enforcement crosses the line, we cross the courtroom with purpose.

We’ve stood beside families whose loved ones were brutalized, silenced, or killed by those sworn to protect them. We know the playbook — and we’re not afraid to challenge the badge when it’s used as a shield for injustice

Personal-Injury.jpg

You may have a personal injury case if you’ve suffered:

  • A serious injury in a car, truck, or rideshare accident

  • A fall or accident on unsafe property (business, apartment complex, etc.)

  • Long-term health complications from someone else’s negligence

  • Physical and emotional trauma that’s affecting your daily life


Personal Injury

Someone’s carelessness shouldn’t cost you your health, your job, or your peace of mind.
When an injury turns your life upside down, you need more than sympathy — you need results. We take on the insurance companies, negligent parties, and anyone standing between you and the recovery you deserve. And we don’t stop until you’re made whole.

  • Termination after speaking up about harassment or discrimination

  • Executive severance and contract disputes

Employment Law & Executive Representation

Your job isn’t just a paycheck — it’s your reputation, your future, your power.

We represent professionals at every level; from wrongfully terminated employees to high-level executives navigating complex contract disputes. Whether you're being pushed out unfairly or standing up to discrimination at the top, we bring the strategy and strength to protect your livelihood.

  • Felony or misdemeanor charges in state or federal court

  • Drug, gun, assault, or violent crime allegations

  • DUI or vehicular charges with serious consequences

  • Unlawful searches, coerced confessions, or rights violations

Criminal Defense

The system is stacked. We know it, and we know how to fight it.

If you're being charged with a crime, your freedom, your record, and your future are all on the line. We step in fast, build a wall of protection around you, and go to war with the accusations. We don’t fold. We don’t flinch. We fight like your life depends on it — because sometimes, it does.

Why Clients Choose Us

Real Clients. Real Justice.

Jamon Hicks is the heavy hitter you want on your legal team. I used Jamon for a wrongful termination case and he was very powerful in not only winning the case but ultimately awarding us punitive damages. He had a presence that commanded the jury's attention. They hung on to his every word and as a result they wanted to penalize the company due to his closing arguments. He is very straight forward in his communication with you as a client and will carefully walk you through all possible outcomes. I originally was open to a $100k settlement prior to trial and thanks to Jamon I was awarded a 7 figure judgment! I would highly recommend Jamon and his team.

M. Wilson

I've known Jamon Hicks for ten years and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my legal needs. When I was involved in a legal issue, I felt scared and had no idea how I would take care of it. I was referred to Jamon by a friend and retaining him as my legal counsel was the best decision I made. Jamon immediately made me feel safe and in the best hands. He took care of my issue and was the most professional, trustworthy, and helpful attorney. He's the best attorney and I would recommend him to anyone dealing with a daunting legal matter.

Isamar Ayala

Justice was served. When my dignity, ethics and livelihood was at deliberation by a Jury of 12 in the court of law, Jamon R. Hicks was my best half, my partner, my lawyer. Jamon was able to gather my thoughts, help me to compose myself, rebuild my self-confidence and gather all the evidence to defend me and prove to the jury and judge to unanimously verdict justice to prevail. Jamon is a family man and devoted member of the community. A true respected professional who is thoughtful, strategic, sensible, and caring; is one who will want to stand with you in court. My family and I will forever be grateful to Jamon. His mother is to be commended for such a stellar lawyer.

Mr. Hicks prevailed in a wrongful death case related to the tragic death of my only child. He rose to the challenge and handled the complexity of the case with professionalism, sensitivity, and skill. He provided me the closure and compensation I deserved and by doing so, honored my son's life and helped create positive change in this world. He is also very approachable and has a good sense of humor! I highly recommend him.
