Police Misconduct and Civil Rights Violations

The people who serve our communities as police officers, prison officials and other law enforcement agents have the responsibility to respect the rights of citizens. Sometimes however, some abuse their authority by physically and emotionally harming the citizens they are supposed to protect. Fortunately, there are laws in place to compensate those who’ve been injured as a result of police misconduct.

We have experience helping the victims of:

Assault and Battery
Excessive force
Libel and Slander
Inappropriate Sexual Contact
Lack of Adequate Security Measures

Your recovery can include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering-both physical as well as emotional. If you believe you may have been the victim of police misconduct, please contact our firm for assistance and advice.

Whether we are aware of it or not, our actions are often influenced by our own biases prejudices. Though the majority of police and other law enforcement officers work to protect citizens, there are some instances where police officers infringe upon the rights of individuals in the process of arrest or in other situations.

Civil Rights Violations include any of the following:

False imprisonment
False arrest
Sexual harassment/misconduct
Discrimination based upon, age, race, religion
