Police Misconduct Lawyer in Norwalk, CA
When police officers cross the line and cause serious harm, the aftermath can be devastating for victims and their families. Here in Norwalk, we understand that seeking justice after police brutality can feel overwhelming. That's why our team at Moseley Collins Law focuses on helping people who have suffered life-changing injuries due to police misconduct.
What Does Police Misconduct Really Mean?Let's be clear about what we mean by police misconduct. It's not just about minor disagreements or inconveniences. We're talking about situations where law enforcement officers seriously hurt people by using excessive force or abusing their power. While most officers do their jobs properly, when they don't, the results can be catastrophic.

- Cases where someone has died
- Serious damage to internal organs

- Disabilities that change your life forever
We don't handle minor injuries or other types of civil rights violations - our focus is on serious police brutality cases that have caused devastating harm.
Spotting Police MisconductPolice misconduct isn't always obvious in the moment, but certain actions clearly cross the line. Here are some real examples:
- Using far more force than needed
- Pulling out weapons when there's no real threat
- Physically attacking someone during an arrest
- Shooting without proper cause
- Using dangerous holds or restraints
- Deliberately inflicting serious harm
If you're wondering whether you need a police misconduct lawyer, ask yourself:
- Did you end up in the hospital after dealing with police?
- Are you now permanently disabled because of what they did?
- Did you lose a family member during a police encounter?
- Are you facing ongoing medical treatments?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, it's time to get legal help.
