A wide variety of personal injury cases can occur, so it is important that you find the right personal injury attorney for you in your particular circumstances.

Were You a Victim of Police Brutality?
Police officers have a duty to serve and protect citizens. This duty must be upheld under all circumstances. When police officers believe they are above the law, it is inevitable that they will abuse their power.
While making an arrest, police officers are only allowed to use the amount of force necessary to subdue the suspect. Anything beyond that is excessive, and this type of inappropriate police behavior must not be tolerated.
