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.

    Our Clients' Success Stories

    • "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!

    • "We will recommend you and your firm without reservation."
      Dear Steve, With our case now settled, we wanted to reach out to thank you, Justin and the entire team for your representation of our daughter. It was clear to us that your professionalism, expertise and advocacy of our family’s interests made the entire process run smoothly. We specifically appreciate how well you interacted with our daughter. After we hung up with you on speaker phone leaving the courthouse that last day she said “I like him” in a very childlike, affectionate tone. We also wanted you to know that our decision to settle did not come easily. In the end, we believe the decision was in our daughter’s best interest. We know you worked hard to prepare a strong case and do regret not having the opportunity to see that through. Lastly, on a personal note, we wanted to compliment you on Justin. He is a truly impressive young man; intelligent, polite and very good natured. Just a couple of comments Steve made in the days leading up to our daughter’s trial as we got to know Justin better. To our daughter; “You can tell a lot about a man by seeing how his children behave; Mr. Effres seems like a really good man.” To S: “If you have a son, he (Justin) is what you want him to be like; if you have a daughter, he’s the kind of guy you’d like her to end up with.” Anyway, I’m sure you don’t need to hear it from us, but you and your wife must be very proud of your sons. I hope this doesn’t sound hollow, because it is most definitely not, but please keep in touch and let us know if there is ever anything we can do for you. If we ever come across a friend who is in need of representation, we will recommend you and your firm without reservation. Thanks again and best wishes by S, S, and M

    • "I would hope that nobody NEEDS to have an injury lawyer, but if they did, I would absolutely recommend Effres and Associates in a heartbeat."
      In August of 2015 I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident that involved the loss of operation of my dominant arm, as well as a traumatic brain injury. My parents had contacted Effres and associates (they were referred to them by another lawyer for another injury to a relative) and they drove from Agoura Hills down to Pasadena immediately, surveyed the accident scene, and then arrived at the hospital. Over the next two and a half years, Justin Effres and his father Steven Effres, relentlessly pursued this case for me, even when at one point it seemed like there wasn't much that could be done to resolve the situation. I had to go through the typical trial stuff such as meetings, deposition, medical appointments for Effres' firm and for the defense, but Effres did all that he could to make everything doable and smooth as possible for me. My perception of lawyers was certainly changed for the better after working with Justin and his dad, because of their genuine sincerity. They were always available and fully knowledgeable of the questions that my family and I had for them. Despite the case dragging on for over 2 years, they never left me hanging or feeling like the case was going nowhere, because Justin kept searching for answers and kept me updated with everything. All of his hard work paid off in a successful outcome for me. I would hope that nobody NEEDS to have an injury lawyer, but if they did, I would absolutely recommend Effres and Associates in a heartbeat.

    • "I feel that nobody could have done a better job than you."
      Dear Mr. Effres: I just don’t know where to start to show you how much I appreciate your concern in my case. I am glad that I had you representing me in trial. I feel that nobody could have done a better job than you. I thank your family too, for putting up with the stress that this case may have caused, also the time that it may have taken you away from them. You will always be on my mind and I will never forget the experience I had. Thanx. by T. R
