False Arrest and Unlawful Detention
By law, a police officer may only arrest or detain someone if they have probable cause. If no probable cause existed for the arrest or detention, the arrest constitutes a violation of your civil rights. You may be eligible for compensation for damages for humiliation in front of family and friends, confinement, excessive force, and even lost job opportunities or other damages that result from the false arrest.
If you do nothing, you can be sure that nothing will be done and that no record will be made of the false arrest. If you contact our law firm, our lawyers will notify appropriate authorities.
