We Represent And Fight For Victims
Like most lawyers, doctors, teachers and many other professionals, most police officers are dependable, ethical and honest. Police officers put their lives on the line each and every day to protect us and our loved ones, which improves the quality of life for all citizens. Additionally, being a police officer is a difficult, stressful job that requires long hours and often involves dangerous, life-threatening situations that are rapidly evolving.
That said, while police officers are permitted to use reasonable force to protect themselves and bystanders, police officers can sometimes go too far when they are attempting to enforce state and federal laws and violate the civil rights of those they are sworn to protect. Citizens place a great deal of trust and confidence into the police and our law enforcement departments, and when that trust is abused or betrayed, that misconduct must not go unchallenged.
The Baker Law Firm focuses on the following types of civil rights cases:
- Excessive force / police brutality
- Inmate on inmate assault in jail
- Failure to provide adequate medical care to inmate in jail
- Police shootings and wrongful death
- Rape or sexual assault by corrections officer or another inmate
- Jail injuries or deaths
- Unlawful or inappropriate use of a Taser
- Other constitutional violations
