Chicago Police Misconduct Attorney
Fighting for Victims of Police Misconduct
Chicago is notorious for the rate of misconduct among officers in our city, and if your civil rights have been violated, you may feel helpless and unable to defend yourself. Many victims of police brutality and corruption refrain from taking action to assert their rights out of fear of retaliation and further abuse, while others whose complaints to the police department have been disregarded may not believe that the system works.
What constitutes misconduct? Any of the following actions can be considered misconduct:
- Excessive force and outright brutality
- Unjustified deadly force
- Misuse of police dogs
- False arrest and illegal detention
- Illegal or unreasonable searches
- Jail custody abuse and neglect
- Trumped-up charges of resisting arrest or assaulting a police officer
- Planted or falsified evidence

"A great Lawyer indeed!"
I had no intentions on getting a lawyer for my situation because I didn’t think anything would be done. My mother contacted Bill and I’m so happy that she did! Not only was he professional and really nice he also genuinely cared about what happened to me and he showed empathy. The best part about it all I gave up on the case but Bill never did. He believed we had a chance at winning and he was right! Bill won the case for me and I also received a settlement check! A great Lawyer indeed!
