Commited To Achieving Results
Section 1983 law, constitutional litigation, and consumer class actions are complex areas of the law. We welcome referrals from other attorneys and are happy to consult with them regarding potential claims in these cases.
Many false arrest or malicious prosecution cases may have concurrent criminal cases in which the individual is acquitted following a lengthy pretrial and trial process. Whether someone has charges dismissed prior to trial or is acquitted at trial, how the underlying criminal case is handled can affect a later civil case for damages in a Section 1983 claim. Cooperation among counsel at both stages of representation can make a difference for our clients. We encourage criminal defense counsel to seek review of their client’s potential civil claims in advance of a civil suit being brought.
If you have a case beyond your common practice area and would like to refer a client to our firm or would like to consult with us, please contact us.
