Police Misconduct Lawyer in Santa Rosa, CA

When police officers cross the line and cause serious harm, the impact on victims and their families can be devastating. Here in Santa Rosa and throughout Sonoma County, Moseley Collins Law steps in to help those who have suffered catastrophic injuries due to police brutality. We understand how overwhelming it can be to face the legal system while dealing with severe injuries, and we're here to guide you through the process.

Police misconduct happens when officers step beyond their legal authority and harm citizens. While most police officers do their jobs professionally, serious misconduct cases occur more often than many people realize. These incidents can leave victims with life-changing injuries and mounting medical bills.

We understand that each case is unique, with its own set of challenges and circumstances. Our experience helps us navigate these complex cases effectively.

If you've been seriously injured by police misconduct in Santa Rosa, there are several paths forward:

The Santa Rosa Police Department's Internal Affairs unit looks into officer misconduct claims. While this process is important, it doesn't help victims with their medical bills or ongoing care needs.

The Sonoma County District Attorney's Office may investigate cases where officers might have broken the law. However, their focus is on criminal charges, not helping victims recover compensation for their injuries.
