What Is Police Brutality?
Police brutality is defined as the use of excessive and/or unnecessary force by police officers when interacting with civilians. This can take many forms, from using physical force to using verbal or psychological abuse. In some cases, it can even mean wrongful arrest or false imprisonment. Many times, police brutality is motivated by factors like racism, sexism, and homophobia. It is important to remember that police brutality is not always physical; it can be psychological or emotional as well. Whether you were the victim of physical force, verbal abuse, or wrongful imprisonment by police, our team can help.

Cases We’ve Handled
Case of William Green: On January 27, 202 in Prince George’s County, Maryland, William H. Green was shot seven times while handcuffed in a patrol car by Michael A. Owen Jr. On behalf of the family of the late William H. Green, Murphy, Falcon & Murphy reached a $20 million settlement with Prince George’s County over his death due to an unlawful shooting by police.
Case of Albert Mosley: In 2005, we represented Albert Mosley after he was left with permanent and debilitating injuries in a case of severe police brutality. Mosley’s suit stated that, while his arms were handcuffed behind his back, he became engaged in an “angry exchange” with Officer Brian Kershaw who was outside of the cell. Kershaw approached Mosley, pulled him into a standing position, and violently threw him into a concrete wall. Mosley sustained a paralyzing neck injury, leaving him a permanent quadriplegic requiring 24-hour care. We successfully obtained a $44 million verdict in favor of Mr. Mosley for his pain and suffering, as well as for past and future medical expenses.
