Police Misconduct Lawyer in Lafayette, CA

Law enforcement officers are meant to protect our communities, but when they abuse their power, the results can be devastating. Here in Lafayette, California, we at Moseley Collins Law have seen firsthand how police misconduct can shatter lives and leave families struggling to cope with serious injuries. Our firm brings over 40 years of experience to help victims of severe police brutality pursue the justice and compensation they deserve.

When we talk about police misconduct, we're referring to situations where officers step beyond their legal authority or fail to uphold their sworn duties, leading to serious harm. While the majority of Lafayette's police force serves with honor and integrity, there are times when officers cross the line.

For Lafayette residents who experience police misconduct, there are official channels for investigation. The Internal Affairs Division handles internal reviews of officer conduct, while the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office examines potential criminal behavior by law enforcement.

At Moseley Collins Law, we take a focused approach to police misconduct cases. Rather than handling every type of civil rights violation, we concentrate on cases involving catastrophic injuries from police brutality. This focus allows us to provide the most effective representation for clients who have suffered life-altering harm.
