Police Misconduct and Police Brutality

Bay Area Lawyers Holding Police Accountable

We respect and appreciate law enforcement agencies, but also recognize that their power cannot go unchecked. The courts and the legislature have established standards for police and sheriff departments to which they must adhere in using their weapons, giving chase in their automobiles, taking people into custody, and releasing them from confinement. We have been actively and successfully involved in prosecuting law enforcement misconduct in each of those areas.

Do you have a case? Please tell us about it by contacting Walker, Hamilton & Kearns, LLP.
