Have you been hurt because of police brutality or other police misconduct? You may be able to obtain justice and compensation for the violation of your rights. Contact a Richmond law enforcement misconduct attorney at Halperin Law Center today.

There’s no doubt that police officers have difficult jobs, and we need them to police our streets and keep us safe. Though we rely on police officers to put a stop to criminal behavior, that doesn’t mean they get a pass to mistreat or abuse people. The police must be held to high standards of behavior because they’re in a position of power.

Abusing that power is unacceptable, and they shouldn’t be able to get away with it. If the police have harmed you because of misconduct, then you can file a claim seeking damages. Police misconduct cases can be difficult to win, so it’s best to have legal assistance. A Richmond civil rights lawyer with our firm can help.
