Victimized by False Arrest or Other Police Misconduct in NYC?
Our respected, Manhattan-based law firm is a strong, proven resource for people harmed by false arrest in New York City. We have taken effective action in situations involving false arrest and other types of police misconduct by filing lawsuits against the City, the NYPD and local and federal prosecutors. We have successfully represented clients who were falsely accused by the police and arrested for minor and serious criminal charges (e.g., cases involving falsely manufactured evidence in a drug or gun arrest). Because we often see the legal harm where others do not, we have successfully represented clients who have been turned away by other attorneys.
Wherever you are in the five boroughs, you can contact us to discuss your potential claim, without risk or cost to you. Our attorneys have recovered millions of dollars for our clients.

Valid civil actions may arise from wrongful arrest on a bench warrant or other failures by police or prosecutors to follow proper procedures. An illegal search or other rights violations may also occur.
Our attorneys, Jay K. Goldberg and Gerald Allen, are both former prosecutors and First Deputy Bureau Chiefs who worked in the Brooklyn D.A.'s office for many years. We have extensive knowledge of law enforcement procedures, including familiarity with all aspects of the current police patrol guide. We know what the authorities can and cannot legally do in their efforts to enforce our laws.
We take this type of negligence and the harm done to victims like you seriously. When you contact us to explain what happened, you can depend on being treated with respect and absolute discretion by a skilled lawyer who cares.
Honest, Thorough Evaluation of Your Potential Case
Valid police misconduct and brutality cases can arise from a wide range of circumstances. We know the legal and procedural limits — and we can gauge when greater than necessary force has been a factor. It is sheer reality that some officers frequently cross the line to cause pain or "teach a lesson," especially if a suspect offers any type of resistance. We also know that the use of greater than necessary force sometimes involves racial bias or other types of discrimination.
If you or a family member has been beaten or otherwise victimized by NYPD officers who you believe used excessive force, please contact us at Goldberg & Allen, LLP. We will take a hard, honest look at your potential claim from a knowledgeable, experienced perspective.
Our experience as Police Academy lecturers on subjects including search and seizure and trial preparation can be invaluable for evaluating and investigating what happened to you — and helping you determine whether taking legal action could be worth it for you.
We are effective criminal defense trial lawyers who also take a special, determined interest in civil actions that promote fairness and quality law enforcement in our city. If you have had a traumatizing experience with the authorities, please call us at (866) 582-1893 and request a free consultation.
