Sharon Iskra of Bailey Glasser, Saba Bireda of Sanford Heisler and Larry Golston of Beasley Allen are among this year's honorees.
We’re honored to introduce The 2025 Lawdragon 500 Leading Civil Rights & Plaintiff Employment Lawyers.
These lawyers are champions who stand tall and deliver justice to individuals who have lost their means to make a living, their freedom, their dignity. To have a job, a chance. To have one’s freedom and be able to speak one’s mind. To be able to proceed in life free of sexual abuse, harassment, discrimination and other boulders unfairly forced onto the paths of individuals trying to live their lives – that is the calling of these heroes.
Because while ‘life happens’ these are the lawyers who call out and hold to account those whose callous, greedy or vicious actions deprive others of their right to work, to exist, to peaceably abide. To go to court and win the respect that’s been stolen.
They’re a little busy just now.
This is our 8th edition of this guide to the champions you need when you’ve been fired, harassed or otherwise deprived of your rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These lawyers are the toughest lawyers around for victims of law enforcement and other authorities who’ve engaged in violence and other abuses of power, as well as those who’ve suffered the horror of sexual abuse, assault and other violence.
