Yes, you can and you should. Ideally, you should hire the attorney who already reviewed your case and determined that your rights were violated.Civil rights cases are fairly complex and require the assistance of an experienced attorney who practices in that particular area of law. Most attorneys do not know that area of law well enough to provide competent, well-informed advice.The fact that you already found one who reviewed your case and determined that your rights were violated is propitious. Hire him or her and make sure you properly fund your lawsuit. Many litigants in your situation give up because of the high cost of legal fees in this type of case, and the low probability of successfully recovering anything.
