POLICE BRUTALITY – POLICE MISCONDUCT SETTLEMENT = $550,000
While in the lobby of an apartment building in the Bronx our client’s skull was fractured during an arrest by an undercover unit of the NYPD who claimed that our client merely fell during the arrest. The City refused to settle the case for years because our client had an extensive criminal record. The case came up for trial and after over a week of jury selection and as opening statements commenced the City settled the case.
