Milan Chatterjee
Attorney at Law
Las Vegas, NV
Civil Rights & Discrimination Attorney, Licensed in Nevada and California
He graduated from UCLA School of Law and was a visiting student at NYU School of Law. He has practiced at major national law firms and served as In-House Counsel for Las Vegas Sands Corp., a Fortune 500 company headquartered in Las Vegas.
That background matters. Civil rights cases are often filed against well-funded defendants, large employers, national chains, insurance carriers, and government agencies. Milan has sat on the other side of the table. He knows how those institutions evaluate claims, what they fight, and what they settle.
He was also appointed by the Nevada Supreme Court to the Access to Justice Commission, which works to expand legal services for people who can't afford them. That appointment reflects what drives his civil rights practice: the belief that the law is only as strong as the people willing to enforce it.

Six reasons clients trust us with cases that matter.
01
Federal Court Experience
Most serious civil rights claims belong in federal court. We handle them there from EEOC charge to summary judgment to trial in the District of Nevada.
02
Big-Firm Training, Boutique Attention
The legal preparation of a major firm without being treated like a file number.
"Prepared like the case will be tried. Communicated like you matter."
03
We Understand the Other Side
Former in-house experience means we know how corporate defendants think and what makes them settle.
04
Local Knowledge of Clark County
We know the federal and state judges, NERC, EEOC Las Vegas, HUD Region IX, and Eighth Judicial District practice.
05
Honest Case Assessment
Not every situation is a viable lawsuit. We tell you that on day one. If you do have a case, we tell you what it's worth and what it will take.
06
Contingency Options
Most civil rights cases are handled on contingency. You don't pay attorney's fees unless we recover. Many federal civil rights statutes also shift attorney's fees onto the defendant when you prevail.
Speak With a Civil Rights Attorney Before Filing Deadlines Pass.
Civil rights claims have strict filing deadlines. EEOC charges for federal employment discrimination must generally be filed within 180 days, 300 if NERC has jurisdiction. Section 1983 claims in Nevada are typically subject to a two-year statute of limitations. Waiting can cost you the case.
Hear from clients who trusted us to stand up for their rights and fight for accountability.
I was fired two weeks after I asked for a reasonable accommodation. Three other lawyers told me it wasn't worth pursuing. Milan disagreed. I'm glad I listened to him.
Michael Carter
After my arrest was thrown out, I didn't know I had a civil claim against the officers. Milan walked me through Section 1983 and what it would take. Straightforward the whole way.
Jennifer Williams
Our HOA refused to allow my service animal. Milan handled the Fair Housing complaint and the federal case. The board reversed its position before trial.
David Thompson
Milan was the first attorney who actually read my file and explained what the law said. He told me what was strong about my case and what wasn't. We settled four months later.

01. What is a civil rights lawyer, and when do I need one?
A civil rights lawyer represents people whose legally protected rights have been violated — often by an employer, landlord, business, school, healthcare provider, or government agency. You should consult one if you believe you were treated differently because of a protected characteristic, denied access or accommodation, retaliated against for reporting discrimination, or subjected to misconduct by police or another government actor.
02. How long do I have to file a civil rights claim?
03. What's the difference between filing an EEOC charge and a lawsuit?
04. Do I have a case if I wasn't fired or physically injured?
05. What is a Section 1983 claim?
06. Can I sue a Las Vegas hotel or casino under the ADA?
07. What counts as housing discrimination in Nevada?
08. Will my case go to trial?
09. What information should I bring to the first meeting?
