The City’s Corporation Counsel appoints attorneys to represent the police in civil actions. We know based on our experience that they will do everything possible to defend and justify their actions. That is why you need experienced legal counsel to assist and guide your claim through the legal system. Its this experience that will help to effectively prosecute the perpetrators and bring justice to your claims. The City’s attorney’s when faced with charges of battery against the NYPD will almost in every case defend their actions, claiming that they responded to you in self defense or in defense of others. Factual innocence (it wasn’t them), lack of intent (it was nothing but an accident), duress, provocation or defending property or acting within the scope of their authority are all common defenses. Our experienced police battery lawyers can sift through each of their defenses to help effectively prosecute your claim and achieve the most maximum success in your case.

Consider the claims of sexual battery involving a decorated, former New York City police officer in 2001. The New York Post reported that Brian McNamee, 34 was questioned about an Oct. 6 incident where a hotel manager reported that he had seen him in the pool, apparently having sex with a woman. In addition to the incident, detectives looked into how the woman ingested gamma hydroxybutyrate, or GHB which is also called the “date-rape” drug. Brian McNamee was not only a former NY police officer, but at the time a Yankees fitness coach. There are times when we need to prosecute similar claims, and we know the position the City’s lawyers typically take in such cases. It’s known as deny, delay and defend. It’s the three Ds.
