New York Police Misconduct Lawyer
Helping Victims of Police Misconduct in Queens, Brooklyn & Bronx
Wizenberg & Associates, LLC defends the rights of victims of police misconduct by bringing lawsuits for money damages in both state and federal court against the State, the City and the New York Police Department. The abusive officers, their "silent" and complicit partners are also sued. We even name supervisors in our suits.
Police misconduct refers to the objectionable actions taken by police and other law enforcement officers in connection with their official duties. Police brutality is a particularly disturbing form of police misconduct.
