The Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates, P.C. is amazed by the brutality exercised by many police officers while arresting individuals or dealing with the public. Often, police officers will try to justify their violent actions by saying, "I work in Chicago. This is a dangerous city, I need to protect myself." There is no excuse for police brutality. It is a violation of a person's civil rights.

Not only is any kind of violence inflicted by any person wrongful and illegal--but police brutality is a violation of Section 1983 of the Federal Civil Rights Act. Section 1983 allows individuals to sue state actors in state or federal courts for such civil rights violations. Over the years, our law firm has handled many cases where a police officer or other law enforcement official has used excessive and unnecessary force on one of our clients. We are here to fight for your rights to compensation and to stand up for your civil rights.

Violence by Law Enforcement Officers
Police brutality can include excessive physical force, physical assault, verbal abuse, violent threats, false arrests, sexual abuse or assault, intimidation, racial profiling, or other kinds of discrimination by police officers, prison guards, and law enforcement officers or officials. The psychological and emotional trauma that comes from this type of brutality can be severe, especially as law enforcement officers are entrusted with protecting people, not violating or abusing them. Violence caused by police brutality can lead to serious personal injury, including wrongful death.

The Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates, P.C. is committed to stopping police brutality. We welcome the opportunity to file a claim against any law enforcement officer who has violated your civil rights. Law enforcement officers are not above the law, and there are remedies available to you if one of them has injured you. Even if you have been arrested for committing a crime, you are still entitled to having others uphold your civil rights. Many people on death row have been released because their attorneys were able to prove that a police officer had beaten a false confession out of them.
