Government Misconduct
Being charged with a crime does not forfeit your civil rights. No matter what crime you have been charged with, you have the right to be treated lawfully by police officers, prosecutors, and the criminal justice system. If you’ve been victimized, faced police brutality, prisoner abuse, or prosecutorial misconduct, you have the right to challenge bad government actors and sue for compensation and justice for your suffering. I’ll fight to defend your civil rights and demand the respect you deserve.
Government Misconduct Services
There are many ways that police officers can abuse their power, including unlawful arrests, the use of excessive force, and illegal searches and seizures, to name only a few. And if you or a loved one is sentenced to incarceration in jail or prison, you also have certain rights that cannot be abused. Physical abuse, rape, and other civil rights violations should never be a part of a conviction. For those wrongfully convicted, maliciously prosecuted, or victimized by evidence tampering or withholding, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your suffering.
