Compensation for Police Misconduct and Civil Rights Violations of All Types
Since 1977, we have successfully handled hundreds of civil rights violations in a wide variety of areas, including:
- False arrest and imprisonment
- Excessive use of force
- Malicious prosecution
- Illegal search and seizure
- Police home invasion
- Prison and jail suicide cases
- Wrongful death
While our experience means we have a great deal of knowledge in these matters, we further strengthen cases by drawing from a network of experts that includes former police officers and police supervisors who are willing to testify about proper procedures in misconduct cases.
Many times, this area of practice overlaps with criminal defense. A person is picked up on drug charges, but then is assaulted by the arresting officers. In these cases, the criminal side of the case needs to be handled in a certain way to prevent damage to the civil rights violation claim, which typically is filed later. One of our law firm's many strengths is the ability to handle this area of overlap in a manner that is beneficial to the people we represent.
Claims Handled on a Contingency Basis
