Illinois Excessive Force Attorneys
Chicago Lawyers Representing Victims of Wrongful Police Shootings
Shooting a suspect during an arrest is deemed proper and necessary if the suspect puts others at danger — shooting at the officers, hurting a captive, or otherwise. In most other instances, police shootings are use of excessive force and a violation of rights.
At The Law Offices of Neil L. Toppel & The Law Offices of Richard Dvorak, we represent victims of police shootings, police brutality, and other acts of excessive force. We defend our clients against any criminal charges and help them file lawsuits against the officer(s) who wrongfully shot at them during the arrest.
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 attorney Toppel (312-663-9500) or attorney 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.
Representing Clients During Difficult Times
Police shooting incidents are some of the most serious cases of police brutality we handle. Victims may suffer severe, life-altering injuries or even be killed. Our job is to identify whether excessive force was involved and seek the justice our clients and their families deserve. Over the years, we have built strong and successful cases utilizing such advanced topics as DNA evidence, ballistics, gunshot residue, bullet trajectory, and forensic science.
A Demonstrated Record of Success
We have a track record of success handling police shooting and other excessive force crimes. Recently, we handled and won a case involving the shooting of our client for allegedly disarming and aggravating a police officer. If you are a victim of police shootings, we can help.
Handling Both the Criminal and the Civil Sides of Your Case
Often a criminal charge accompanies a police misconduct case. You do not need to seek a separate criminal defense attorney. At The Law Offices of Neil L. Toppel & The Law Offices of Richard Dvorak, we defend our clients against all criminal charges, including drug charges, weapons charges, and other criminal charges such as resisting arrest, battery, or aggravated battery to a police officer. We will build a strong defense on your behalf, while investigating your civil rights claim.
