Civil Rights and Police Liability
McManimon & Scotland, L.L.C. is well equipped to represent the interests of police officials who have been named as defendants in state and federal criminal and/or civil rights actions. Several of our attorneys have extensive litigation experiences as former prosecutors and defense counsel. A governmental entity suffers significant exposure, both financially and in the perception of the taxpayers they serve, when aggrieved plaintiffs seek remedies against police, fire and emergency employees. Causes of action arise from allegations of wrongful arrest, instances of overly aggressive conduct and failure to properly train, counsel and supervise official activity.
Of additional significance is the fact that many of these lawsuits demand extraordinary monetary claims when include punitive damages and plaintiffs counsel fee awards. Our professional staff is available for consultation 24 hours a day, every day in the event of an emergent situation. Further, our attorneys have the capacity to help train and guide supervising management staff in appropriate procedure and investigatory techniques. Prevention of a crisis situation often obviates the necessity of costly subsequent litigation.
Police liability litigation has increased dramatically in recent years. McManimon & Scotland, L.L.C. is available to represent the interests of governing bodies and their employees, in an efficient, competent and effective manner.
