Illinois Attorneys Representing 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.

From their separate law firms in Chicago, attorneys Neil L. Toppel and Richard Dvorak provide relentless advocacy to Cook County clients who are facing criminal charges or are confronting a dispute involving a civil rights violation. Call Neil L. Toppel (312-663-9500) or Richard Dvorak (312-593-7146) today to arrange an initial consultation with an experienced attorney. Richard Dvorak is fluent in Spanish, and Neil L. Toppel has Spanish-speaking staff available.

Our separate law firms handle 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.

Two Successful Civil Rights Law Firms

Our attorneys have won millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for victims of false arrest, police brutality, 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
