If you have been arrested without cause in New York City, we want to know about it at the law firm of Apicella & Schlesinger Attorneys at Law. Our attorneys have been filing claims and civil lawsuits on behalf of false arrest victims — and often recovering significant financial damages — for years. You may well have a valid claim if you were released on bail or your own recognizance, your case was dismissed or you accepted an adjournment contemplating dismissal (ACD). We will speak with you and evaluate your situation free of charge.

Wrongful arrests occur under a vast range of circumstances. Often, civil false arrest is only one aspect of a valid case, with other police misconduct and abuse having taken place, too. Some cases we have pursued have involved:

  • Traffic stops and “stop-and-frisk” encounters leading to arrests on nonexistent warrants
  • Arrests of multiple innocent people in an apartment where drugs or weapons were allegedly found
  • Felony arrests based on false allegations of assault on a traffic officer or meter maid
  • False allegations of turnstile jumping (“theft of services”) and similar misdemeanor offenses
  • Arrests of people invited into a building by residents for trespassing after a report by the building owner — who may also be found liable for damages in civil court
