Victimized by False Arrest or Other Police Misconduct?
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 police 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, 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.
Successful Experience in Cases of Multiple Arrests and Mistaken Identity
Serious mistakes leading to false arrest are far more common than most people imagine. Our interest in vigorous defense of New Yorkers' rights has led us to file suits and recover significant sums on behalf of:
- A man falsely arrested multiple times over a four-year period because he had the same name as a deceased fugitive
- A victim of identity theft and mistaken identity by the police who was falsely arrested multiple times and held in jail — even after the issuance of a letter from a judge that should have ended the problem
- A man falsely arrested on an out-of-state arrest warrant for rape of a child

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.
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.
