Police Misconduct/Abuse of Force

Los Angeles Police Misconduct Lawyers

When most people think of police misconduct, images come to mind of a person on the ground being beaten by one or more police officers. However, police misconduct and abuse of force are also caused by policies that lead to systematic civil rights violations, such as illegal strip searches and overdetention (keeping someone in jail after they have a right to release). At Litt, Estuar, Harrison & Kitson, LLP, in Los Angeles, California, we have the experience and resources to challenge police policies that constitute police misconduct and abuses of force.

Aggressive California Civil Rights Lawyers

Issues such as illegal strip searches and overdetention are civil rights violations. In some jails these are constant problems. More than looking at a specific incident, our firm seeks out the root cause of the problem: policies that lead to abuse or officers that are improperly trained.

Our lawyers have extensive national experience representing individual victims of police misconduct as well as handling class action lawsuits for groups of people whose civil rights were systematically violated. We are prepared to handle police misconduct and abuse of force in the state and federal courts. Our attorneys have successfully handled a number of cases involving strip searches that violated people's civil rights. These cases include policies that allowed police officers to conduct strip searches of persons who had a right to be released from custody or in a manner that violates their right of privacy.

Our attorneys are committed to handling police misconduct and abuse of force cases throughout California and the United States. Our firm has the resources to bring these cases to trial and the skill to see them through the appellate process. If, through that process, we are able to fully enforce the law to create systemic changes, that is our most significant victory.
