Morristown Police Misconduct Attorney

Protecting the Rights of Those Injured by Police Brutality

Police officers are a group of people that we generally place a great amount of trust in. We expect them to uphold justice, treat civilians with respect and maintain a safe environment for those that live in their area of jurisdiction. For the most part, law officers act in an ethical manner and serve citizens with the protection they need. In some cases, unfortunately they may abuse the power that has been bestowed upon them, damaging the lives of innocent victims.

Police brutality can leave a person emotionally, physically and financially scarred. Whether through use of excessive force or performing a wrongful arrest, a law officer is in the act of exploiting their power. Pursuing a claim against an officer that has brought harm to you or your loved one is something that should only be done with the help of a qualified police brutality lawyer. The Bowlin Law Firm offers qualified and experienced legal representation for those dealing with the aftermath of police misconduct. Having been selected for inclusion in the list of Tennessee's Super Lawyers® Rising Stars^SM for 2013, Attorney Bowlin is highly esteemed for his work in the field and he is more than willing to help those facing this type of case.

What constitutes police brutality?

While many may think purely of physical violence against a suspect as police misconduct, it comes in many forms. Our Morristown police misconduct lawyers understand that no matter how minimal or severe the brutality, that justice must be served.

We can advocate on your behalf if you have been the victim of any of the following actions from a police officer:

• Racial profiling
• Sexual assault
• Strip searching that is unnecessary and debasing
• Physical violence that is unwarranted
• Any form of coercion or blackmail, forcing you into an action you don't want to take
• False arrest

Knowing that instances of police brutality in Hamblen County are completely possible, we take aggressive action to protect the rights of those who have had to suffer through such a horrific experience.
