Police Brutality / Excessive Force
Priority Service
Legal Scope & Constitutional Protections
Law enforcement officers are sworn to uphold the law and only use reasonable physical force when strictly necessary. When officers exceed their constitutional authority—through gratuitous strikes, baton blows, knee-on-neck restraints, or weapon misuse—victims suffer catastrophic physical and psychological injuries. We represent individuals and families in federal § 1983 civil rights actions and California Bane Act claims to hold offending officers and municipalities accountable.
Key Focus & Claims We Litigate
- Unreasonable use of physical force during encounters
- Unwarranted canine attacks and weapon strikes
- Violations of Fourth Amendment constitutional protections
- Failure of bystander officers to intervene
