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

    • "Everyone in the office was always pleasant and helpful."
      Dear Mr. Effres and Office, It has been almost a year since we accepted the settlement for Jonathan and we wanted to thank you all for your help. We will not forget the empathy you showed us during the stressful time we were going through as a result of Jonathan’s injury. Everyone in the office was always pleasant and helpful. We also recognize the thoroughness with which our case was prepared should it have gone to trial. We won’t hesitate to refer you to our friends should they need an attorney. Jonathan is starting kindergarten next week and has a full-time mom now (since February)! We are all enjoying our new house. Wishing you all the best

    • "I would definitely recommend this firm."
      I would definitely recommend this firm, after everything they have done for me I can’t describe in words, the person that was responsible for my serious Injuries was on suspended license and no insurance but they still stood by my side and fight for me, this firm is about Justice. They were always there when I need anything, they came to the hospital, they even help me go to the court and my favorite I was able to text them when I had a question very convenient. Thanks alot to Justin Effres for always responding to all my questions and never giving up on my case.
      - A.K.

    • "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
