Police Misconduct Lawyer in Huntington Beach, CA
When law enforcement officers cross the line and cause life-changing injuries, finding the right legal help can feel overwhelming. Here in Huntington Beach, our team at Moseley Collins Law focuses on one critical area: helping victims who have suffered severe injuries due to police brutality.
Understanding Police Misconduct and Your RightsPolice misconduct isn't just about bad behavior – it's about serious violations that cause real harm to real people. While most police officers serve our community with honor, when officers abuse their power and cause catastrophic injuries, victims deserve justice and fair compensation.

- Wrongful shootings
- Dangerous physical restraint techniques
- Intentional abuse of power leading to injuries

It's important to note that we concentrate solely on catastrophic injury cases. While other civil rights violations are serious matters, our expertise lies in helping victims who have suffered severe physical harm from police brutality.
