Best Attorney for NYC Police Misconduct Cases

Police Brutality? False Arrest? We Can Help!

Police officers, prison guards and highway patrol officers: These people have a great deal of power over the residents of New York City. While most have the training and temperament to make the right choices, some do not. Unfortunately, the violent acts of these bad apples have injured not only bodies, but also reputations, families, futures and communities. These acts of professional misconduct include:

  • Use of excessive force
  • Unlawful arrest, false imprisonment or miscarriage of justice
  • Unlawful chokeholds, shooting, tasering or pepper spray
  • Unconstitutional search and seizure
  • Police cover-up

Stuart M. Kerner, Esq. knows how violating it can be to suffer mistreatment at the hands of officers, and will help see that justice is served. Call his office today or fill out our contact form to speak with a police misconduct attorney for a FREE Consultation!

Attorney Kerner Explains What To Do If Stopped by Police

  • Stay calm. Don't panic.
  • Determine if whether or not you are being detained.
  • Do not answer questions without an attorney present.
  • If they give you a reasonable order (e.g. step off to the sidewalk), obey them as their request may be for your safety or the safety of others.
  • Call an attorney if you think you are a victim of police misconduct.

Ask Stuart M. Kerner, Esq.

What should I do if I have been hurt by the police?

The first thing you should do is get the names and identification numbers of the officers involved. Even if they do not admit to harming you, an investigation could show a pattern of violence. You may also want to keep copies of any documents associated with your case. Having a record of everything that happened leading up to the event will help. Details count.

Do I need an attorney if I have been a victim of police brutality?

Having an attorney is always advisable as these cases are often met with significant resistance. For example, it is not uncommon for other officers to be reluctant to provide testimony. Beyond that, you could probably expect the other side to argue details of procedure. They may also go well beyond statutes and regulations, citing cases that could be similar to yours. It is for this reason, you need someone with the knowledge and experience to unravel these arguments. Stuart M. Kerner, Esq. and their legal team understand what you are up against. They are there to explain the process, organize your case and help you make the choices that secure the best possible outcome in terms of compensation.

How much is my case worth?

This is the hardest question to answer. Many factors come into play when evaluating financial damages resulting from a police brutality or false arrest. Some include: What was the extent of the physical injuries? Was there a hospital visit? What were you treated for: Gunshot wound, concussion, stitches, broken bones, etc? How much is the hospital bill? Will continued treatment be needed? Just to name a few. To determine the value of your particular case we invite you to schedule a Free Consultation with Stuart M. Kerner, Esq.. During that time we will evaluate the circumstances surrounding your case and discuss the value/next best steps.

What type of police brutality cases have you handled?

Daniella Levi & Associates has successfully handled a wide variety of police brutality cases ranging from: An illegal 4 hour detention, to rape in prison by correction officers, and a gunshot victim falsely incarcerated for several months, and denied medical assistance.
