Wreck Defense Attorney in Lawrenceville

Question: My son was hit by a police vehicle while trying to elude, on foot. After knocking him down, excessive force, including the use of a taser, was used. They would not carry him to the ER following this incident. His "crime"? An invalid tag. Well, now there are Several charges against him. I feel like the use of the patrol car was the same as a deadly weapon & I'm just wondering what recourse we might have in this matter.

Answer: You can sue the police. Of course, you first have to locate an attorney to take the case, which will probably mean paying him money, because this is not a contingency case. Second, you have to hope that your son does not land in prison,because a jury is NOT likely to give anything to a convicted person.

About Me

I hung a shingle in February 2000, because I saw that individuals charged with criminal offenses were being underserved by the attorneys practicing criminal law. Since February 2000, I have represented more than two thousand criminal clients. I only practice criminal law, but I do everything from violations of probation to Supreme Court appeals. There are few attorneys under the age of sixty that have my level of experience. I have tried more than two hundred major felony jury trials. I have tried more than fifty misdemeanor jury trials. In Philadelphia as a prosecutor, I tried more than two thousand bench trials. I have conducted more than three thousand preliminary hearings and bond hearings. Yet, I still have the energy at forty-five to serve my current clients. There is nothing that will occur in a courtroom that I have not experienced before. When you are looking for an attorney, experience is everything.
