Unfortunately, police misconduct can and does happen, and it is because these individuals are sworn to serve and protect that it can feel so deeply violating. While it is the professional duty of law enforcement to protect, sometimes the safety and rights of individuals are compromised in the course of their duties.

There are rules, regulations, and legal standards in place to govern the conduct of law enforcement officers and keep the public from harm. Any behavior that falls outside of these parameters, whether it involves abuse of authority, unlawful searches, false arrest, or other misconduct, can have serious and lasting consequences for those affected.

If you or a loved one has been harmed by the misconduct of an officer, it can feel like a profound betrayal of trust by the ones sworn to protect. We understand the gravity and sensitivity that comes with these situations. Johnson Jensen Williams’ team will be by your side to listen, provide guidance, and get you the justice you deserve.

Every single case is different, which means it’s impossible to answer this question without knowing the particulars. However, our experience will allow us to quickly assess your situation to provide you with options that are in your best interests. There is no charge for our initial discussion.

Some questions to ask yourself as a starting point:

• Have I or a loved one been injured or physically harmed?
• Did a law enforcement officer act in a way that was unlawful or without probable cause?
• Have I experienced financial loss due to lost wages or medical expenses?
• Have I experienced this injury because of negligence or intention by another party?
• Did the actions of the officer feel intentional, retaliatory, or motivated by bias?
