Police Misconduct Lawyer in Long Beach, CA
When police officers cross the line and cause serious injuries, victims often feel powerless and unsure where to turn. Here in Long Beach, our team at Moseley Collins Law has dedicated our practice to helping people who have suffered severe injuries due to police brutality.
What Qualifies as Police Misconduct in Long Beach?Police misconduct happens when officers step beyond their legal authority and harm citizens they're supposed to protect. While Long Beach has many honorable officers who serve with distinction, those who abuse their power can cause devastating harm to individuals and families.
When misconduct occurs, the Long Beach Police Department's Internal Affairs Division steps in to investigate. But the reality is, victims with serious injuries need their own legal advocate to ensure their rights are protected and they receive fair compensation for their suffering.

Through our years of experience, we've seen police misconduct cause catastrophic injuries in several ways:
