You Have Legal Rights

Orlow, Orlow & Orlow has extensive experience helping victims of police brutality and misconduct. Many police officers in New York abuse their power and authority and cause physical and emotional injuries to their victims. Police brutality occurs in routine stops and arrests, after a chase or pursuit, in jails or prisons, and as the result of racial profiling.

Excessive Force

Excessive force is a common type of police brutality. Police brutality was largely ignored in the past, but the realities have been brought into the public eye in recent years due to high profile cases of egregious abuse. Today, police brutality is not tolerated, and many officers have been convicted of criminal assault charges. Sadly, many victims who suffer police brutality did not commit a crime and were not even in the process of being arrested when the assault occured.

Custodial Negligence

Custodial negligence occurs when those who are serving sentences in prison are subjected to beatings by guards or assault by other inmates. Other cruel and unusual punishment may involve the denial of proper medical attention, food, and other necessities.
