FOCUS AREAS:

EXCESSIVE FORCE  The use of excessive force by a law enforcement officer is a violation of your Constitutional rights.  A police officer may only use the minimal amount of force necessary to make an arrest.  If a police officer used too much force or shouldn't’t have used force at all, our attorneys will fight for your rights.

FALSE ARREST  Unlawful detention or arrest without probable cause is a violation of your Constitutional rights.  If a police officer arrested you without any legal justification, our attorneys will fight for your rights.

ILLEGAL SEARCHES  Your Constitution protects you form illegal searches.    Police officers cannot search you, your home or your car without a warrant or without probable cause. If a police officer has conducted an illegal search, our attorneys will fight for your rights.

POLICE SHOOTINGS   A Police shooting without legal justification is excessive force and a violation of your Constitutional rights.  Our attorneys will fight for your rights.

WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS  The use of fabricated evidence, coerced confessions, and withholding or destroying evidence are all violations of your Constitutional rights.  DNA exonerations are on the rise, yet account for only a small portion of wrongful convictions.  If you were wrongfully convicted, our lawyers will fight for your rights.

MALICIOUS PROSECUTION  The initiation of criminal proceedings without probable cause by police officers is a violation of your rights.  If you were found not guilty on trumped up charges, our attorneys will fight for your rights.
