We Take Action When The Police Or Other Parties Abuse NYC Citizens And Visitors

At Apicella & Schlesinger, we care deeply about your civil rights. Attorneys at our firm in Washington Heights have been filing claims and lawsuits based on police misconduct, brutality and other reprehensible actions for many years. If you have been victimized by a false arrest, malicious prosecution or abuse while in custody, a call to our lawyers is the right call. Call your police brutality attorneys now.  We will evaluate your case for free.

We know that wrongful arrests and incarceration affect people in profound ways. As a victim, you may have suffered serious psychological trauma — even at the level of post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD). You may have also been physically assaulted. Our knowledge and proven capabilities cover:

• Arrests without cause after a traffic stop or the stop of a “suspicious” individual on the street
• Arrests based solely on the account of an accuser who was not properly interviewed.
• Violations of the laws against illegal search and seizure
• Police brutality, including beatings while in custody and unnecessary use of a Taser (stun gun), nightstick or other weapon
