Excessive Force

New York Police Brutality Lawyers

Law enforcement officials are entrusted to protect, not harm, the citizens. Unfortunately, we still have to handle cases of police brutality every year. Most citizens are unfamiliar with the policies and procedures regarding filing an official complaint against the police. Leventhal & Klein, LLP will work with you to form your official complaint of excessive force by police and take up your case to help you get justice. We don't take your rights lightly, and we don't think the state and their officers should, either.

If you've been a victim of excessive and unnecessary force during an arrest or detainment, you need the help of our professional police brutality lawyers. Our firm has concentrated its practice in civil rights law, including excessive force by members of the New York City Police Department and other law enforcement agencies. Our police brutality lawyers are extensively versed in the areas of the law that matter most in these types of cases and will work to make justice prevail in yours.

Wrongful Death as the Result of Excessive Force

If a family member of yours has been killed as the result of excessive police or corrections force, contact us immediately. Especially in cases such as these, it is vital to ensure that evidence is preserved and witnesses are identified.

If such overextension was involved in your arrest or detainment, we have the experience necessary to represent you to the fullest extent.
