Civil Rights Litigation
Mr. Hicks is committed to holding police departments, county jails, and private correctional healthcare providers accountable for U.S. Constitution violations under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. His civil rights practice focuses on in-custody deaths due to medical neglect, excessive force by law enforcement, and failure-to-protect claims. He has successfully litigated cases of deliberate indifference to serious medical needs, such as denial of insulin, heart medication, and withdrawal treatment, leading to wrongful death. Mr. Hicks is adept at overcoming Qualified Immunity defenses at the summary judgment stage.

Catastrophic Injury & Wrongful Death
In catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases, Mr. Hicks represents victims of commercial trucking accidents, oilfield explosions, and other industrial disasters. He is skilled in the forensic extraction and analysis of Electronic Logging Device (ELD) and Event Data Recorder (EDR) data, often referred to as the truck's "black box." His firm maintains a limited caseload to ensure comprehensive preparation for each trial.

Philosophy
Mr. Hicks is committed to thorough trial preparation, rejecting the high-volume "settlement mill" approach. From the outset, he prepares every case for trial, compelling insurance companies and government defendants to consider the full extent of harm caused. When they refuse to provide fair compensation, he is ready to present the case to a jury.
