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, or wrongfully charged with murder).

Honest, Thorough Evaluation of Your 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. 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.

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.
