Civil Rights

Police Misconduct Lawyers

When officers use force the Constitution forbids, departments investigate themselves and call it justified. We build excessive force cases for the courtroom, where a badge is not a defense and a jury decides what happened.

Cases we take to trial

01
  • Excessive force during arrests and stops
  • Police shootings and severe injuries
  • Chokeholds and positional asphyxia
  • Taser and pepper spray abuse
  • Failure to provide medical care in custody
  • K-9 and vehicle pursuit injuries

How the other side fights

  • — Claiming qualified immunity to end the case early
  • — Arguing the force was reasonable under the circumstances
  • — Leaning on internal investigations that cleared the officer
  • — Attacking the victim's background and credibility
  • — Delaying the release of body camera and dash footage
