Navigating a police brutality case can be challenging. Victims of excessive force in New York City need a reliable, experienced attorney who will fight for their rights and seek justice on their behalf.
Choosing the right lawyer is crucial in holding law enforcement accountable for their actions. Here are a few factors to consider when choosing yours.
Expertise
The most important factor is expertise. Look for an attorney who specializes in civil rights law.
Experience
Experience matters because the legal landscape surrounding police brutality cases is quite complex. Look for a proven track record of successfully litigating cases similar to yours.
Reputation
Check the lawyer’s reviews and testimonials. They can help you guage the attorney’s effectiveness in handling excessive force cases. Positive feedback can show that the lawyer has a history of providing dedicated and detailed representation.
It can also be worth checking to see whether the lawyer has won any awards, such as a Super Lawyer award.
Commitment to Police Reform
Advocating for broader police reform shows commitment to ending police brutality. When your attorney is dedicated to the cause at large, they will be more passionate and conscientious about handling your case.
A Personalized Approach
A small, boutique law firm can be your best bet. You’re already dealing with a faceless system. You don’t want to deal with a faceless, big white shoe law firm, too.
When you sit down to meet with an attorney for the first time, you should feel like that person cares about you and what you’ve been through.
Resources
Your lawyer will be going up against powerful law enforcement agencies and their legal teams. Choosing a lawyer with the resources to build a strong case is crucial. Look for a well-established law firm.
