Police brutality is defined as the intentional use of excessive force against another individual through verbal, psychological, or physical abuse. Police officers, sheriffs, detectives, and other law enforcement officers are not authorized to use excessive force. Individual's civil rights are also protected against unreasonable search and seizure and against self incrimination by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Use of excessive force may be considered a violation of an individual's civil rights even if it occurs in the course of the Police conducting an otherwise proper arrest.

If you have experienced police brutality or police misconduct, the Perecman Law Firm will aggressively protect your rights and interests, help you explore your legal options, and seek compensation for your unnecessary suffering. In the aftermath of police brutality, it is our mission as a firm to see that justice is served when representing you.

Examples of excessive force or police brutality may include:

• Using a firearm against an unarmed individual
• Unnecessary use of Taser, pepper spray, or attack dogs
• Beatings

Our law firm can investigate the circumstances of your case, obtain police reports, and gather other critical evidence.
