Unlawful Arrests
An unlawful arrest can upend someone’s life, causing public humiliation, stress, lost income, and long-term harm. We represent clients who were arrested:
- Without probable cause
- Based on flawed or fabricated evidence/testimony
- As retaliation for protected speech
- Based on police misconduct
- Due to mistaken identity
When the firm is entrusted with an unlawful arrest case, it conducts a meticulous investigation to uncover what really happened. The firm reviews body-worn camera footage, dispatch records, police reports, witness statements, and all available physical or digital evidence. We analyze whether officers followed proper procedures, whether constitutional standards were violated, and whether the arrest was justified under the law.
We pursue full compensation for the harm caused—financial, physical, and emotional. Depending on the case, this may include damages for lost income, reputational harm, emotional distress, and medical costs. When applicable, we also take steps to clear the client’s record, challenge unlawful charges, and help restore the client’s standing in the community.
If you or someone you love was wrongfully arrested, you do not have to navigate the aftermath on your own. The firm will assist in exposing misconduct and holding law enforcement accountable.
