Police Misconduct

Most law enforcement officials are ethical and committed to protecting the rights of citizens. Their jobs are often difficult and life-threatening, and their days may become extraordinarily stressful in the blink of an eye. Still, most handle these demands admirably.

However, law enforcement officials are also given a significant amount of power and control over the people they serve. Occasionally, officials abuse this power, either inadvertently or purposely.

The financial, emotional, penal, and physical consequences of law enforcement misconduct can be devastating. Citizens place their trust in law enforcement, and the betrayal of that trust should be pursued and addressed with a swift and effective legal response.

The Atlanta police misconduct attorneys at Van Sant Law have considerable experience in assisting innocent victims who may have been injured as a result of police misconduct or brutality. We can help you pursue justice by seeking compensation for the violation of your rights.

    "David and his crew worked so hard to come to a great conclusion on my case."

    I was in a car accident with a tractor trailer two years ago and David Van Sant came highly recommended for someone I could talk to about the situation. Best decision I've ever made! He fought for me in ways that was truly amazing. Thank you David, Michael and everyone in the office.
