Police Brutality

Police brutality is the excessive use of physical force, assault, and verbal attacks and threats by police officers. As a rule, police brutality persists in countries with authoritarian governments, corruption, or ineffective judicial systems. However, individual incidents of police brutality may occur in all countries, even those which actively prosecute and manage to punish such activity.

The law is destined to protect all citizens from violence at the hands of the police, even if you are accused or convicted of crimes. Police officers and prison guards are considered to be those who protect people. If they misuse their power, they should not get away with violating a person's civil rights. The lawyers of The Law Offices of Goldstein & Handwerker, LLP can aggressively protect your rights and strive to get clients the compensation they deserve.

If your rights have been violated by a police officer or a prison guard, contact The Law Offices of Goldstein & Handwerker, LLP at (212) 679-1330.
