Police Misconduct Lawyer in Fresno, CA

When police officers go too far and cause serious injuries, getting proper legal help can make all the difference. Here in Fresno and nearby areas, many people don't know where to turn after experiencing police brutality. Let's break down what you need to know about police misconduct cases and how to protect your rights.

Police misconduct isn't just about bad behavior - it's about law enforcement officers causing real harm by misusing their power. At Moseley Collins Law, we help people who have suffered severe injuries from police actions. We're not talking about minor incidents here - our focus is on helping victims who have experienced life-changing injuries.

When we talk about police misconduct cases, we're specifically dealing with situations that lead to serious physical harm, such as:

• Broken bones that require surgery
• Head injuries causing lasting brain damage
• Back or neck injuries leading to paralysis
• Cases where someone has died due to police actions

Police brutality can take many forms, but common situations we see include:

• Officers using far more force than needed during arrests
• Improper use of weapons like tasers or batons
• Physical abuse of people in custody
• Dangerous chokeholds or restraint methods
