Facing police harassment or malicious conduct can be even more traumatic than being on the receiving end of bad treatment by criminals.

Police Misconduct

The ubiquity of cell phone technology social media has made it even easier for citizens to document evidence of police misconduct. While most officers follow the law, there are far too many officers in the system who abuse their powers.

Examples of misconduct include but are not limited to:

  • Excessive or unreasonable use of force
  • Sexual coercion
  • Wrongful arrest
  • A police shooting that violates police department policy

What To Do If You Face Police Harassment

There are steps that you can take to protect your civil rights after harassment by police:

  • Note all the details of the incident. The longer the time gap between your complaint and the incident, the more likely it is that you’ll miss out on important details.
  • Take down the contact information and names of witnesses at the scene.
  • Discuss your options for a civil lawsuit with an attorney. Speak to a lawyer even if you were not arrested at the scene. You also may want to report the police misconduct, but first discuss the situation with a Los Angeles police misconduct lawyer at our firm.

Contact Us Today

    Our Clients' Success Stories

    • "I am very pleased that you kept me informed at each step of this process."
      Dear Mr. Effres: Thank you for all of your work on my behalf regarding the wrongful death of my mother in the parking lot of the Burbank mall. This was a difficult and complex case in that there were several entities that had to be dealt with simultaneously. To make matters worse, none of the parties were inclined to move forward in an effort to reach a resolution. Thanks to your persistence, patience and skillful negotiation a very favorable settlement was subsequently reached with all parties satisfied and in full agreement. I am very pleased that you kept me informed at each step of this process and thankful to have you as my attorney in this matter. Yours truly by L. W.

    • "They did an absolutely fantastic job and obtained a stunning settlement for my mom."
      I'm an attorney. My mom was seriously injured in a slip-and-fall accident. Steve and Justin represented my mom. They did an absolutely fantastic job and obtained a stunning settlement for my mom. And they're both wonderful human beings. They, and their staff, treated my mom with kindness and respect. I cannot sing their praises enough!

    • "So pleased to win the case, through your legal expertise."
      Dear Mr. Effres, Please allow us to make your acquaintance. We are writing at the urging of Mr. Gusa, who shared with us the lovely history behind our receiving a beautiful six-passenger golf cart. As you know, he is a fine man and he was so pleased to win the case, through your legal expertise, so as to provide us with this unexpected gift. We would never have conceived of having such a large golf cart. Now that we have it, we are discovering how very valuable it is for being able to take a group of our distinguished guests all together on a tour around the monastery grounds. Perhaps one day circumstances will be such that you find yourself in Arizona. If so, we would be pleased to invite you on a tour of the monastery! With best regards by X. N.

I’m currently in the process of getting my real estate license, and making a couple of real estate investments. Thank you for giving me the freedom to start a new life for myself and children. I could not have done it without you. Sincerely yours
      - A.R.
