Chicago Police Brutality and
Civil Rights Violations Lawyer

The Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates, P.C. in Chicago, Illinois is amazed by the brutality exercised by many police officers while arresting individuals or dealing with the public. While the majority of police officers are immensely valuable to our society and do a great job keeping us safe, there are always a few police officers that 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 or civil rights violations. It is a violation of a person's civil rights. If you feel you have been subjected to police brutality, request a Free Police Brutality and Civil Rights Violations Case Evaluation.

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.

We welcome the opportunity to file a claim against any law enforcement officer who has violated your civil rights.
