Private and Public False Arrest and Detention

Police officers may only arrest or detain an individual if they have probable cause. If there is no probable cause, the arrest or detention is a violation of the individual's civil rights. Any harm that is caused through the arrest, including confinement, excessive force, police brutality and lost job opportunities, may be eligible for compensation under the law.

Our firm will also pursue claims of false arrest and imprisonment against store owners and other private property owners who improperly detain suspected shoplifters in their stores. We will investigate your claim to show whether certain procedures were followed and whether they were in accordance with the law.

Attorney David Perecman has more than 30 years of experience handling personal injury and civil rights cases. In fact, his first major victory was winning a $600,000* verdict for a woman who was falsely detained by security guards at a department store.
