Experienced Attorneys for Action Against Police Brutality
As veteran attorneys who spent years working within the New York City criminal justice system as prosecutors and high-ranking officials, we never underestimate the challenge police officers face in enforcing the law. However, we consider it essential to take action for citizens when the conduct of police officers crosses the line and becomes police brutality.
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.
Few lawyers in the five boroughs have devoted more attention or had greater successes filing civil actions for police brutality and false arrest in recent years. Our recent efforts in these challenging legal areas have included:
- Obtaining a $350,000 settlement for a retired U.S. Customs agent assaulted by officers in a private residence
- Obtaining significant settlements for persons injured during the arrest process
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.
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.
