Civil Rights Litigation

Talented Brooklyn Trial Lawyer

Police officers, sheriff's deputies and other law enforcement personnel are paid with our tax dollars "to serve and protect" us. Unfortunately citizens all too often are injured by unreasonable use of force and unnecessary violence by the very people who are supposed to be protecting us.

No one should have to be mistreated by police officers, prison workers, or other government employees. If you have been injured by the police or subjected to physical abuse by guards or correctional officers while in jail or prison, you may have a claim for violation of your civil rights. Contact attorney Sam Gregory to discuss your case.

Standing Up for People in New York City Harmed by Police Brutality, Prison Guard Abuse, and Other Misconduct

Over the past 20 years, Samuel Gregory has proven himself to be one of the toughest and most talented trial lawyers in New York. From law offices in Brooklyn, he offers free consultations to anyone who has been subjected to police beatings, police brutality or mistreatment by government employees anywhere in New York or eastern New Jersey.

If you have been injured at the hands of a police officer or prison guard, you may be able to obtain compensation for the pain and suffering that you have experienced. Holding the guilty party accountable for misconduct can discourage him from ever doing such a thing to someone else and may prevent other officials from harming innocent victims.

Types of Civil Rights Violations

A person's civil rights can be violated in many ways, including:

  • Police brutality
  • False arrest
  • Malicious prosecution
  • Cruel and unusual punishment
  • Failing to accommodate a disability
  • Profiling suspects based on racism or sexism
  • Infringement of free speech
  • Unreasonable use of force by police
  • Unjustified use of Tasers or stun guns
  • Abuse of prisoners or inmates
  • Police shootings of unarmed individuals
  • Rape or sexual abuse of persons in custody

The above does not begin to cover all the possible reasons for starting civil rights litigation. For example, many cases involve terrible mistreatment in jails. At this writing, Sam Gregory is handling a case involving a rape in a federal prison.

What to Expect in Civil Rights Litigation

If attorney Sam Gregory takes on your civil rights case, you can expect him to take a detailed statement about the facts and then launch a full investigation. If the case is valid, you can expect him to file a comprehensive summons and complaint in federal or state court. You should not expect immediate results — it can take time to get justice, but it is worth the wait.
