Pitt McGehee Palmer Bonanni & Rivers celebrates 30 years as Michigan’s preeminent civil rights and discrimination law firm.

Michigan’s leading discrimination and civil rights attorneys.

For 30 years, Pitt McGehee Palmer Bonanni & Rivers has stood with the people of Michigan when their civil rights, employment rights, or personal safety have been violated. We give a voice to those who have been wronged and hold accountable the employers, institutions, and individuals responsible. Righting the wrongs done to innocent people isn't just our work, it's our passion. For us, it's about justice prevailing. 

Employment Discrimination

Our firm helps employees fight discrimination made illegal by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) and other state and federal anti-discrimination laws. 

Class/Group Actions

These suits unite your group with one strong voice. Previously, our firm has worked on the Michigan UIA fraud case, the Flint Water Crisis class action, sexual assault group actions and more.

Sexual Assault & Harassment

As a civil rights law firm, we have the training and experience to challenge all instances of sexual harassment and gain redress for everyone affected by it.

Civil Rights

Civil rights law is our specialty and we represent individual clients, as well as groups (in class actions) of people whose rights have been violated. 

Corrections and Incarceration 

Retaliation and mistreatment can occur behind bars in the form of physical or sexual assault, unjustified solitary confinement, or denial of basic medical care and education. Incarcerated people deserve to be treated as human beings, and we fight for that right.  

Disability Discrimination

More than 1 in 4 of American adults have some form of disability, and we work to ensure that those with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else. 

Criminal Defense

Facing a criminal charge can put your freedom, your record, and your future at risk. We care deeply about protecting the rights of every person accused, regardless of the charge.

Whistleblower

Retaliation can occur in response to overtime, minimum wage, discrimination, workers’ compensation, medical leave, equal pay claims and others. 

Personal Injury

Someone else's negligence can leave you with medical bills, lost income, and lasting pain. We work to right the wrongs done to injured people.  

We care deeply about righting the wrongs done to innocent people. 
For us it’s about justice prevailing.

Let’s work together.
