Civil Rights Litigation
Police Misconduct & Excessive Force
Police encounters should never end in unnecessary injury or death. Yet every year, victims suffer the consequences of officers who use excessive force, deploy deadly weapons without justification, or engage in reckless pursuits that endanger the public. We represent victims of:
- Unlawful shootings and taser deployments
- Excessive or prolonged restraint and chokeholds
- Reckless or high-speed vehicle pursuits resulting in injury or death
- False arrest and malicious prosecution
Our attorneys are seasoned trial litigators who uncover the truth through meticulous investigation—body camera footage, dispatch records, use-of-force reports, and internal communications—to expose systemic failures and demand accountability under federal civil rights law (42 U.S.C. § 1983).
Prisoner & Detainee Rights
Being incarcerated or detained does not mean losing the right to basic human dignity. The Constitution requires jails, prisons, and detention facilities to provide adequate medical care and protect those in their custody from harm.
We advocate for individuals and families affected by:
- Deliberate indifference to serious medical needs
- Failure to treat life-threatening conditions like diabetes, infections, or withdrawal
- Denial of necessary medication or psychiatric care
- Deaths and injuries caused by neglect, understaffing, or profit-driven healthcare contractors
Our firm has represented detainees, pretrial inmates, and families who lost loved ones to medical neglect behind bars. We combine deep knowledge of correctional healthcare systems with relentless advocacy to bring institutional wrongdoing to light.
