WCB Attorney Gerald J. Williams


"In a society like ours, where the government imposes very few regulations on corporations or on itself, for that matter, it's the court system that has to protect workers and citizens from abuse. In the end, that's what the plaintiff's lawyer does."
— Gerald J. Williams

Civil Rights

The United States Constitution guarantees certain civil rights to all American citizens, and the attorneys at Williams, Cuker and Berezofsky work hard to protect those rights. We strive to ensure that large corporations and government entities do not abuse the rights of individuals, employees, groups or communities. In fact, protecting the rights of victims who have suffered an injustice, and making those who are responsible accountable for their actions, are the driving principles of our practice.

Williams, Cuker & Berezofsky offers legal representation to people who:

Have suffered discrimination/harassment


Need civil rights including right to privacy protection
Need whistleblower protection
Have been subjected to police misconduct or false arrests

To further bolster our efforts to protect the civil rights of vulnerable victims, Williams, Cuker & Berezofsky has formed a joint venture with the Center for Disability Law and Policy. With Steve Pennington, director of the Center, and Jamie C. Ray, its managing attorney, we have handled cases involving disability discrimination, ERISA benefits, excessive force, civil rights claims and employment issues. Pennington and Ray have a link to, and sensitivity for, the needs of people in minority communities and bring special expertise in these areas of the law to our practice.
