NEW YORK CITY POLICE BRUTALITY / FALSE ARREST ATTORNEYS
The attorneys at Joseph Potashnik and Associates PLLC represent victims of false arrest, malicious prosecution, and police brutality throughout the New York City area, Long Island, upstate New York, and New Jersey.
Civil rights litigation is a very complex area and if you have a claim, you want to make sure that your attorney has enough expertise and resources for strong and effective representation. We bring civil lawsuits on the state and federal courts levels.
If you are a victim of false arrest, malicious prosecution, or police brutality contact our New York City false arrest lawyers today for a free case evaluation. The statute of limitation may only allow you 90 days to file your law suit and failure to do so may preclude you from suing later.
When we evaluate false arrest or malicious prosecution cases, we consider several factors including whether police had probable cause for the arrest, the circumstances of the arrest and any events that took place after the arrest. Important issues are time spent in custody, criminal case disposition, prior criminal history, and any injuries sustained while in custody.
As a victim of police brutality or false arrest, if you can demonstrate that police acted “maliciously”, you may be entitled to punitive damages in addition to your actual damages.
While most such cases are settled before trial, if we accept your false arrest, malicious prosecution, or police brutality case, we will not settle for anything less than the optimal result. If needed, our trial lawyers will take your case to trial.
If we accept your case, it will be on the contingency basis meaning that you will not pay us unless and until we recover money for you.
When it is time to speak with a New York City police brutality or false arrest lawyer, contact our office immediately for a free case evaluation. While we only accept selected cases, we do devote all our experience and energy to the case we do accept.
