Fight for Your Rights Against Police Misconduct
The vast majority of law enforcement officers are highly reputable and dedicated to serving the citizens of Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, however, there are times when police exercise poor judgment and shirk their duty to uphold the law. Examples include:
- Excessive use of force;
- Improper methods of subduing an individual;
- False arrest;
- Wrongful imprisonment;
- Illegal questioning methods;
- Unlawful searches; and,
- Other violations of constitutional law.
When police abuse their authority, you can seek damages for the losses you suffer. You may be entitled to recover compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, but civil rights violations claims are extremely complicated. They require in-depth knowledge of constitutional law and court procedural rules. Because some of these cases are resolved out-of-court, having a lawyer to represent you in settlement negotiations gives you an advantage to obtaining proper compensation. If you do need to file a lawsuit, it is critical to have an attorney with outstanding trial skills and extensive experience in the courtroom.

You are Entitled to Justice for Civil Rights Violations
Probable cause if a fundamental concept under constitutional law, so you may be the victim of a civil rights violation if police detail or arrest you without reasonable grounds to do so. In addition, you have constitutional rights that apply after arrest and throughout the criminal law process. Our Allentown civil rights attorneys can review your situation to identify unlawful tactics and assist you in seeking compensation for your losses.
In addition, it is a basic civil liberty to be free from discrimination based upon ethnicity, religion, sex, age, disability, and other characteristics that are protected by law. You do have rights if you experience discrimination at the hands of employers, housing agencies, educators, and other responsible parties. The law provides you with options to enforce them through discrimination lawsuits, but it is essential to retain a tenacious, knowledgeable lawyer to represent your interests.
