Here in Imperial Beach and across San Diego County, our team at Moseley Collins Law works with individuals who have endured serious harm due to police brutality. For more than four decades, we have helped injured clients navigate these challenging cases and seek the compensation they deserve.

When police officers step beyond their authorized powers and cause harm to civilians, it qualifies as misconduct. While the majority of law enforcement officers perform their duties professionally, there are times when excessive force leads to severe injuries or death. These incidents demand accountability.
