Re: Police brutality

Dear Sirs:

A police brutality case requires proving that the officers used excessive force.

Photos of your son's injuries should be taken immediately, as well as medical care should be provided for his injuries.

A complaint for misconduct should be filed against these police officers as well.

We have successfully prosecuted many such cases against police officers in both state and federal courts.

Many thanks,

Sincerely,

Law Offices
