Civil Rights Lawyer
The justice system is designed to protect the innocent and punish the guilty. However, wrongful convictions and police misconduct remain significant issues in our legal landscape. When individuals are wrongfully convicted, they not only face the loss of their freedom but also endure the stigma and trauma that comes with being labeled a criminal. Similarly, cases of police misconduct can lead to severe ramifications for victims and their families.
We can assist with the following types of civil rights cases:
Wrongful Conviction Civil Litigation
Wrongful conviction civil litigation is a specialized area of law that seeks to provide justice to individuals who have been wrongfully imprisoned. These cases often arise from various factors, including:
- Mistaken Identity: Eyewitness misidentification can lead to innocent individuals being convicted of crimes they did not commit.
- False Confessions: Coercive interrogation techniques can result in false confessions, leading to wrongful convictions.
- Inadequate Legal Representation: Defendants who do not receive adequate legal counsel may be more susceptible to wrongful convictions.
- Misapplication of Forensic Evidence: Flawed forensic science can contribute to wrongful convictions, especially when evidence is misinterpreted or mishandled.

Understanding Police Misconduct
Police misconduct encompasses a range of unethical or illegal actions taken by law enforcement officers in the performance of their duties. This can include excessive use of force, false arrests, racial profiling, and other violations of civil rights. Victims of police misconduct often face not only physical harm but also emotional and psychological trauma.
