AWARD-WINNING CALIFORNIA
Holding Law Enforcement Accountable for Abuse, Violence, and Misconduct
They say police officers are here to protect and serve Californians, but unfortunately, many have learned this is not always the case. Fueled by seemingly unchecked power and a loyal government entity that will allegedly support officers no matter the accusations, thousands of police officers have been caught on camera attacking, abusing, and otherwise brutalizing the people they should be protecting. In 2020, these reports came to a head with a sequence of horrific police abuses and murders of primarily Black men and women caught on camera. George Floyd, Andre Hill, Duante Wright, Manuel Ellis, Brionna Taylor, Atatiana Jefferson, and many more became the rallying call for Americans to stand up against unchecked police brutality. Abogados Fuertes proudly joins this fight for justice.

How a Police Brutality Lawyer Can Help
As many people have learned before, going up against a police department that likely knows its wrongdoing can be notoriously challenging. Their ability to hide or gloss over accusations is unlike many other parties who could be held liable for assault, especially in areas where police are given much more credit and freedom. That’s why a California police brutality attorney at Abogados Fuertes is so valuable for your claim. Not only do we aggressively pursue justice for you, but we also investigate the incident on our own time, collect evidence, and negotiate fiercely for the maximum compensation you deserve. We do the talking and negotiating for you so you never have to sit through the disrespect of being blamed for your own injuries.
If you were injured and hospitalized because of a cop’s assault and abuse, call us immediately to discuss your legal rights and options. Do not let them get away with their misconduct!
Every Person Has a Story
What is Police Brutality?
Police brutality is the excessive and unwarranted use of force against a person or group, often resulting in injury. Not only is police brutality entirely inappropriate for the situation at hand, but it is also often illegal. Police brutality can include punching and kicking, beating with objects, shooting with firearms, use of a taser, sexual violence, and more.
According to a database kept by the Washington Post, nearly 10,500 people have been shot and killed by police officers in the decade from 2015 to 2024. This does not account for the people who were assaulted or shot nonfatally. The United States leads much of the world in police-related violence.
If you were injured and hospitalized because of a cop’s assault and abuse, call us immediately to discuss your legal rights and options. Do not let them get away with their misconduct!
Guidance You Can Count On
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be targeted by the police department if I bring a lawsuit?
Police departments are tightknit clubs, many times. While there’s no guarantee a lawsuit for police brutality won’t incur retaliatory actions, any such actions from the police are highly illegal and can be swiftly dismantled by federal action. With a police brutality attorney at Abogados Fuertes, you know you have an ally who can report any further misconduct from the police and protect you.
I believe I was racially profiled. What do I do?
Racial profiling is a serious and common problem throughout California’s police departments. If you believe you were racially profiled, preserve as much evidence as you can including your own record of events, witness statements, photos, video evidence, and more. The more evidence you have to prove you were not acting in a suspicious manner that would otherwise cause an officer to stop or attack you, the better. Then, contact a police brutality lawyer near you immediately to build a case proving you were profiled. Police departments can be held responsible for these discriminatory practices.
Who investigates police brutality claims?
Police brutality claims are investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Police brutality qualifies as a civil rights violation and is taken very seriously by federal oversight organizations. Report your claim above.
How do I prove I was hurt due to police brutality?
There are still many people in California who implicitly trust the police. Therefore, it can feel like an impossible task to prove you were a victim of police violence. Luckily, with a police brutality lawyer, you can investigate the incident independent of the police department and collect your own evidence that can solidly support your claim. Video and photo evidence of violence is especially strong in these matters. Your attorney can help you figure out where to look for the right proof.
What do I do if a police officer lies about what they did to me?
When faced with possible suspension or termination, many police officers who are caught for attacking and abusing Californians turn to lying. While the department may potentially take the officer’s word for it, in front of a judge and jury, you simply need to trust in the case you and your attorney built. With the right evidence, an officer’s lies can be exposed and can open them up to perjury charges.
