Have you been assaulted by the police in NYC?
New York City Police Assault Attorney
Police officers and other law enforcement agents are expected to protect and serve the citizens of their domain. However, sometimes individual officers use their power in extremely inappropriate and dangerous ways. Police brutality is a heinous and unjust crime that occurs all-too frequently across the United States. In most cases, individuals look to police officers for assistance and for their knowledge and respect for the laws of the state and country. Unfortunately, in some cases that trust is sorely misplaced.
If you or a loved one has been the victim of police brutality or police assault in New York City, it is imperative that you receive the justice that you deserve. Even if the criminal trial has already taken place and was not ruled in your favor, you still have recourse to the civil suit system. A New York City police brutality attorney at Hochheiser & Hochheiser LLP can give you the legal assistance and representation that you need in order to receive the compensation for your injuries and trauma that you need.
About Police Brutality in Manhattan and throughout NYC

- Physical assault
- Unnecessary discharging of a firearm

- Cruel treatment and withholding of food, water or other needs while in custody
Any situation in which a police officer or other law enforcement agent injures you or creates a dangerous environment for you physically or mentally is not acceptable. You have legal rights given to you under the constitution. No one should ever have to suffer illegal and dangerous physical and mental abuse at the hands of the individuals who are supposed to protect and uphold the law.
If you have been injured at the hands of police brutality, those individuals who injured you need to be held responsible for their actions.
