Recognizing Different Forms of Police Misconduct
Excessive Force

Many of our cases involve officers using far more force than the situation warranted, causing severe injuries that could have been avoided. These incidents often occur during routine encounters that escalate unnecessarily due to poor training or deliberate misconduct.

Improper Search and Seizure

Sometimes officers conduct illegal searches that turn violent, resulting in serious injuries to innocent citizens. These violations of basic constitutional rights demand accountability.

Discriminatory Treatment

When officers target individuals based on race, ethnicity, or other protected characteristics, these encounters too often turn violent and cause lasting harm to both individuals and communities.

Wrongful Detention

The trauma of being wrongfully arrested becomes exponentially worse when officers use excessive force during the detention, causing severe physical injuries that change lives forever.
