Leonard, Rickman and Holloway, PC: Practice Areas: Police Misconduct
Police Misconduct is a very complicated and difficult matter for someone that has not received the proper training or have experience in the field. For the greatest possible result, it is strongly recommended that you have a professional assist you regarding your Police Misconduct situation.
At Leonard, Rickman & Holloway P.C., we have former law enforcement officers on staff to provide expert analysis of police misconduct cases. Our lawyers have high regard and great respect for law enforcement officers. Occasionally, however, an officer or group of officers will abuse or misuse their powers and authority and harm people in their custody or others they were sworn to protect. Our justice system and laws are clear about our civil rights against illegal search and seizure and police brutality. When the police overstep their authority, we step in.
If you are the victim of police brutality or misconduct you need an advocate! Call today or you may lose your right to take action.
Police brutality is often a matter for criminal prosecution but the victims also have another remedy - a civil lawsuit that seeks money damages from the officers and the responsible government organization (the city, county, or state). The Georgia Police Misconduct Lawyers at Leonard, Rickman & Holloway P.C. are ready, willing, and able to stand up for you!
Common cases involve the following issues:
- Was the force used against a suspect necessary?
- Did the police officer have a good reason to stop a person on a sidewalk or driving a car or anywhere else?
- Did officers have good cause to search a home or business?
- Was unnecessary and harmful force used to control a group of people?
- The ultimate question we ask the jury is: Are you comfortable with what was done in your name as a citizen and taxpayer?
