Haddad & Sherwin LLP specializes in civil rights cases where police or jail misconduct caused death or catastrophic physical injuries. A civil rights claim generally arises when the government or its officials violate a person’s Constitutional or statutory rights. These rights can include freedom from excessive force by law enforcement officers, “police brutality,” police shootings, restraint asphyxia, indifference to jail inmates’ safety or medical needs causing jail death or jail suicide. These are the types of cases the civil rights attorneys at Haddad & Sherwin LLP have been winning for over twenty-five years.
In addition to winning large settlements and verdicts for our clients, we have worked hard to win reforms to law enforcement and jail practices and training, so that others will not have to go through what our clients did. View crucial reforms attributed to our civil rights cases.
