Federal Civil Rights Lawsuit

My first, 1st, 4th, and 14th Amendment rights were violated by the Delaware State Police. Trooper Nicolas Gallow, Corporal Stephen Douglas, and Master Corporal Raiford Box, violated my constitutional rights, threatened to arrest me on false charges, threatened to impound my vehicle, threatened to confiscate my dog, and threatened to seize my son and take him to child protective services. Eventually, they fabricated a false moving violation against me in an attempt to justify their illegal behaviors. I sought a consultation with the Poliquin firm on recommendation of another attorney that had been recommended by a friend. Ron took my case civil case on a contingency basis, after viewing video I had of the incidents. He also provided legal representation defending against the bogus traffic charge for what I considered a fair price. Ron was able to get the traffic charges dismissed. Ron and his staff handled the federal civil rights portion of my case competently and efficiently. In the end, we were able to reach a judgement of $50,000 against the three officers involved in violating my civil rights. I am sincerely thankful for the advice and legal representation that Ron and The Poliquin Firm provided. If you are in need of an attorney to represent you in civil rights cases, I highly recommend contacting the Poliquin Firm for a consultation.

“A LAWYER FOR THE UNDERDOG”

Since becoming an attorney in 2003, Ron Poliquin has made a name for himself fighting against powerful institutions on behalf of clients. Poliquin’s practice includes employment law, civil rights violations, personal injury, family law, and criminal defense. His cases have been featured in publications such as USA Today, The Toronto Star, The Heartland Institute’s Budget and Tax News, and Delaware Law Weekly.

Poliquin’s track record is extensive. As a first-year lawyer, Poliquin successfully litigating a groundbreaking Taxpayer Rights case declaring that over $220 million dollars in taxpayers funds were stockpiled illegally by government officials in Korn v. New Castle County. In addition, Poliquin represented the Cape Henlopen Taxpayers for Fair Elections in a case exposing how contractors subverted the state’s procurement process in the building of a new high school. The case resulted in the establishment of a $50, scholarship fund promoting open and honest government for local high school graduates. Poliquin also successfully represented an internationally renowned Canadian equestrian rider in a highly publicized Title IX case against Delaware State University. More recently, Poliquin obtained a six figure unanimous jury verdict against the State’s Harness Racing Commission on behalf of a racing judge who was wrongly terminated.

Often times, I get the question, “Will you sue…?" Please visit my website's "About Me" section, for a list of just some of the companies and state agencies I have filed lawsuits and claims against.

Amazing Lawyer

Ron was fantastic! I was in a tough spot because I left my old agency early after signing a contract stating I would be there for two years post internship. They wanted me to pay tens of thousands of dollars back in a lump sum and I couldn’t afford that. He looked over the contract and spotted the holes right away. He negotiated with their lawyer and as of today I’m happily at a new job and owe the former nothing! I could not recommend Ron more.

Court Case

Ron was extremely helpful in getting a charge dismissed against my daughter.

Helped save my career

Ron helped me save my career with his advice and letters written to my employer. When I contacted Ron, I was in the process of a reaching a separation agreement with my employer. I had about 18 days to sign the agreement and separate from my position for a small amount of my salary. I never liked this option but was going to do it. Initially, Ron met with me in his office to listen to my situation (case). I guess this was the consultation period. After taking notes he consulted with other attorneys on my particular situation. He never pushed me to one decision or the other. Rather, he gave me the options I needed to hear and simply asked “what do you want to do?” He even explained the risk of not signing and a lawsuit against my employer. Ultimately, we reached a decision that saved my career. Yesterday, I was reinstated and returned to work. This was a shocking reversal by my employer. I KNOW this doesn’t get done without Ron’s help.

Ron stands up for the little guy.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ron Poliquin and The Poliquin Firm, and I have nothing but great things to say about my experience. When I found myself in a difficult situation with a dishonest car dealership, Ron came to my rescue and fought tirelessly on my behalf. From the very beginning, Ron was professional, compassionate, and attentive to my needs. He took the time to listen to my story and understand the details of my case. He provided me with regular updates and was always available to answer my questions and address my concerns. Ron's expertise and dedication to my case were apparent from the start. He conducted a thorough investigation and built a strong case against the dealership. He fought tooth and nail to ensure that I received the compensation I deserved. Thanks to Ron's hard work and expertise, I was able to secure a settlement that was fair and just. I couldn't have done it without him and The Poliquin Firm. I highly recommend Ron Poliquin and The Poliquin Firm. They truly care about their clients and will work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. Thank you, Ron, for all that you've done for me.

Straight to it

I appreciate the bluntness and "get it done" attitude. The resolution of my case was more than fair. I advise anyone needing legal advice and assistance to reach out.

PFA Case

After being served with a PFA, I tried to handle the situation by myself. At the first case review, the situation escalated and thankfully was sent to a second case review. It was at this moment that I decided to lawyer up. With my career on the line, the money spent on a good lawyer was worth it. Ron Poliquin offered advice on our first phone call that changed the direction of the case. He suggested I open a PFA against the petitioner even though I was strongly opposed to this due to personal reasons. Luckily, it evened the playing field and Ron was able to talk to the other petitioner into dismissing the case in order to save both parties time, stress, and our careers. The best case scenario for everybody even though it reached this point. Couldn't recommended him enough for defense against PFAs. Hire him now! Disclaimer: Ron is not a fan of mustaches. That includes great ones!
