Championing Civil Rights and Justice

Constitutional and Civil Rights Litigation

The Neuberger Firm, P.A. is one of Delaware’s most prominent civil rights law firms, founded by Thomas S. Neuberger in 1981. Known as a fearless advocate for the ‘little guy,’ the firm specializes in high-stakes constitutional litigation, often taking on powerful government entities, large corporations, and religious institutions. Thomas Neuberger, along with his son Stephen J. Neuberger, has built a reputation for handling difficult and precedent-setting cases involving the First Amendment, due process, and equal protection. The firm is particularly noted for its work in religious freedom cases, protecting the rights of individuals and organizations to exercise their faith without government interference. Their practice is driven by a deep commitment to justice and a willingness to fight battles that other firms might consider too controversial or challenging.

Employment Discrimination and Whistleblower Protection

A significant portion of the firm’s practice is dedicated to representing employees who have suffered discrimination, harassment, or wrongful termination. The Neuberger Firm has a long track record of suing state agencies, municipalities, and private employers on behalf of workers who were mistreated due to their race, gender, religion, or disability.

The firm’s attorneys understand the immense personal and professional toll that workplace injustice takes on an individual, and they work tirelessly to secure compensation and reinstatement for their clients while holding wrongdoers accountable.

Their work in this area has been instrumental in bringing hidden truths to light in Delaware.
