False Arrest

Chicago Attorneys Represents Victims of False Arrest

If you have been falsely arrested for and charged with a crime, there is no need to seek separate attorneys for your criminal defense and civil rights cases. At The Law Offices of Neil L. Toppel & The Law Offices of Richard Dvorak, in Chicago, Illinois, we concentrate our practice on handling police misconduct in criminal matters. We are committed to protecting the rights, the criminal records, and the freedom of our clients.

The Law Offices of Neil L. Toppel & The Law Offices of Richard Dvorak provides three locations for our neighbors in Chicago, with staff members who speak fluent Spanish. Contact us today.

Our firm handles false arrest cases involving:

  • Malicious prosecution
  • Arrests without a proper warrant
  • False imprisonment
  • Coerced confessions
  • Arrests without probable cause

We take a proactive approach to handling these cases — first addressing the alleged crime, and then pursuing a lawsuit against the arresting officer. When you hire us to represent you, we will review the evidence and identify facts to weaken the prosecution's case. At the same time, we will investigate your claim of false arrest. Our goal is to build a strong case that leads to the best possible outcome for our clients.

A Successful Civil Rights Law Firm

Our firm has won millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for victims of false arrest and other acts of police misconduct. One of our recent case results includes a large settlement for a client coerced into confessing to murder. DNA evidence later cleared the client of all charges.

Representative Cases

Some of our past successes civil rights include:

  • Settlement for a client who was falsely arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance
  • Settlement for a client who was falsely arrested and charged with obstruction and battery to a police officer
