Fighting for Your Rights
Police Brutality
Police are only allowed to use force that is reasonable to accomplish their law enforcement purpose. Too often, police use force that is excessive or as a means of punishment. This can be anything from handcuffing an individual too tightly, to pointing weapons at persons who pose no threat, or using illegal restraint techniques--just to name a few.
If a law enforcement officers caused you or your loved one serious injury, criminal charges are not the only way you can seek justice. You have the right to file a civil rights lawsuit to hold police officers and police departments accountable for the harm that they have caused.
Wrongful Conviction
Every year countless people are unjustly convicted. In most cases, this occurs through a violation of their civil rights due to the misrepresentation of evidence and misconduct by police officers, prosecutors, and other government officials. Spending even a single day in custody for a crime you did not commit is a gross injustice.

False Arrest
An arrest occurs any time an officer puts you in a position to believe that you do not have the freedom to walk away. You have a constitutional right not to be arrested without “probable cause.” That means the police must have a reasonable facts that support the belief you committed a crime. If you were arrested for a crime you did not commit, or because you happened to be related to or friends with a person police were searching for, then you may have been falsely arrested.
