Police Misconduct

 
“Police officers do not tolerate it when a citizen questions their authority as promulgated by state laws. Therefore a citizen should not tolerate a police officer’s behavior when it question that citizens rights protected by the Constitution”

If you have been beaten, strip searched, falsely charged with a crime, sexually harassed, coerced into performing a sex act, or injured as a bystander by a police officer/state trooper/agent of the FBI/DEA/ATF etc. . . . you may have a case under the Civil Rights Act, also known as a 1983 action, or you may have a common law tort claim.

These types of cases are unique and cover state and federal laws. A proper analysis of a police misconduct case requires a solid grasp of police practices and how they merge with the laws that prohibit certain acts by the government. This is absolutely a special area of the law and dealing with law enforcement agencies calls for a strong attorney.

Attorney Chancellor is a former police officer. His past experience has given him strong character attributes and an inside perspective on how police officers go from being a good cop to making a bad decision. Attorney Chancellor is capable of handling the strong personalities of the police agencies and has made it a point to hold those agencies accountable for police misconduct.

There have been many cases of police misconduct and Attorney Chancellor takes several calls a week from potential new clients. Sometimes these cases indicate that a particular police department has a continued pattern of misconduct and the community is in jeopardy. When Attorney Chancellor learns of such wide spread bad acts by police officers he will contact the Department of Justice to have a larger investigation done of the department. The Department of Justice has the ability to order the department to stop its bad practices, and Attorney Chancellor handles the individual cases to compensate the injured party.

If you have been victimized by law enforcement do not hesitate in calling Attorney Chancellor. Your evidence is fading away with peoples memories. You need to act quickly and preserve the events. Attorney Chancellor will help you with your claims to be compensated for your injuries both physical and emotional.
