Excessive Force and Police Brutality

Being arrested is a frightening and traumatic event that is only made much worse when the police act with excessive force or brutality.

Unquestionably, the law enforcement officers in our state have a difficult and dangerous job, and we all want them to have the resources necessary to protect the public. But there are unfortunately some officers who overstep their bounds and act with excessive aggression, force, or violence toward criminal suspects or even innocent bystanders.

At Van Sant Law, we are dedicated to holding police officers accountable when they violate the law. The police may be powerful, but so are your rights. If you’ve been mistreated or injured by law enforcement, an experienced Atlanta police brutality attorney at our firm can help you fight for justice.
