Are You A Victim Of Police Brutality In Colorado?
Police take an oath “to protect and serve” the public. Unfortunately, some officers who are supposed to protect us act outside of their authority and cause serious physical and psychological injuries. At The Viorst Law Offices, P.C., in Denver, our team of attorneys stands up to police officers who violate the public’s trust.
Police misconduct occurs when law enforcement uses excessive force, makes improper or illegal arrests, or falsely imprisons a person. If this has happened to you, you have the right to make claims against the police under state and federal law.
Ready To Litigate Any Police Misconduct Claim
There are different types of police misconduct claims. Many of these claims are filed under Title 42, Section 1983 of the U.S. Code and include:
- Use of excessive force/police brutality – When police and other law enforcement agents respond to a situation using more physical force than necessary to control the situation
- False or unlawful arrest – When a police officer arrests someone without having “probable cause” that the person is committing or has committed a crime
- False imprisonment – When police or other law enforcement agents use unauthorized bodily restraint, not necessarily placing them in jail
Our attorneys believe that all professionals in the criminal justice system have a duty to protect the rights of the accused and the liberty of the wrongfully accused. Our firm’s founder, Anthony Viorst, has an extensive appellate practice and isn’t afraid to take on other defense attorneys for legal malpractice that results in undue incarceration for their clients. No matter how (or by whom) your rights were violated, we want to hear your story.
