Police Misconduct Lawyer in Oakland, CA
When police officers violate their duty to protect and serve, the consequences can be devastating. Here in Oakland, we at Moseley Collins Law have seen firsthand how police brutality can shatter lives, leaving victims with catastrophic injuries and families in crisis. Our work focuses on helping those who have suffered the most serious injuries due to police misconduct, providing a voice for the voiceless and fighting for the justice they deserve.
What Makes a Police Misconduct Case?Not every negative interaction with law enforcement qualifies as misconduct. Our office handles cases where police actions have resulted in severe, life-changing injuries. These aren't minor incidents - we're talking about serious harm that forever changes someone's life.
Types of Cases We Take OnWe focus on police brutality cases involving:
- Brain injuries from excessive force
- Spinal damage leading to paralysis
- Severe broken bones requiring surgery
- Deaths caused by police actions
- Major internal injuries
- Permanent disability cases
- Injuries requiring long-term medical care
Think of it this way - if someone can walk away from the incident with just bruises or scrapes, that's not our typical case. We handle the cases where victims end up in the ICU, face months or years of recovery, or never fully recover at all.
Red Flags of Serious Police MisconductIn Oakland and surrounding areas, certain patterns often emerge in serious police misconduct cases:
- Officers using far more force than needed
- Physical violence continuing after someone is already restrained
- Using weapons against unarmed individuals
- Denying or delaying urgent medical care
- Intentionally causing severe injury
- Clear abuse of police authority resulting in major harm

Our team:
- Digs deep to uncover the truth about what happened
- Collects and preserves crucial evidence before it disappears
- Handles all the back-and-forth with police departments and city attorneys
- Fights for every dollar our clients deserve
