Police Civil Liability Defense

The defense of lawsuits alleging police misconduct is a highly specialized area of the law demanding experienced and competent counsel. These cases typically involve complex issues of constitutional law, criminal procedure, tort law, and the continuously-evolving body of law surrounding 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

Police civil liability defense cases require particularized knowledge and expertise asserting immunities and other defenses that are unique to police officers and their government employer. In this practice area, Fees & Burgess, P.C., has a wealth of experience and a superior track record in aggressively defending against claims of:

excessive force
false arrest
assault and battery
malicious prosecution
unlawful detention
unlawful search
denial of medical care
various other alleged civil rights violations.
