Our attorneys have defended cases involving issues ranging from high speed police pursuits, use of excessive force, allegations of excessive corporal punishment, inadequate supervision, harassment, deprivation of constitutional rights, inadequate warnings and general negligence. While the group focuses on litigation, our attorneys are also available to assist in the development, revision and/or implementation of policy and procedural guidelines aimed at the prevention of lawsuits. |
