FALSE ARREST CIVIL RIGHTS CLAIMS
The vast majority of police in New York City serve the public honorably and fairly, for which we are all grateful. Unfortunately, however, some individuals experience unjust and abusive treatment by police. If you have been falsely arrested, falsely imprisoned, or otherwise subjected to police misconduct, Diana Adams Law may be able to represent you in a civil rights claim or litigation against the police and the responsible municipality-employer of the police, such as a federal civil rights claim (42 U.S.C. § 1983). If you were arrested and held in custody for more than 24 hours before your arraignment, and the charges against you were later dismissed, you may be eligible for one of these claims. Not only do these claims provide some monetary compensation for your troubling experience, they send a powerful message to our police force and City that improper police behavior will not be tolerated, and can highlight the handful of police who abuse their authority.
