NEW YORK FALSE ARREST AND POLICE BRUTALITY LAWYER

Every day in the City of New York people go to jail for crimes that they did not commit. There is nothing more horrifying than being handcuffed, man-handled, searched and thrown into a jail cell for absolutely no reason.

Every day in New York City police stations, courthouses and jails people are let out the back door, their cases DP’d (decline to prosecute) , dismissed, or terminated favorably after a not guilty verdict.

Not a day goes by without another story of a police officer kicking, hitting, or choking the very people they are sworn to protect and served.

When you are the victim of a false arrest or police brutality in New York, you do not have to walk away quietly. You have the right to human dignity. You have the right to seek money damages against the City and against the police officers who arrested you or used excessive force against you.
