Lawyers for Police Officers in California

Law Enforcement Attorneys Providing Dedicated Legal Counsel to Those Who Protect and Serve

Law enforcement officers chose a career dedicated to protecting and serving the communities they live in. But they have also chosen careers prone to intense scrutiny and the risks of civil rights lawsuits. Any false accusations can quickly lead to deep investigations and costly lawsuits. While plaintiffs lawyer up and seek charges against police officers and federal agents, these law enforcement professionals must seek the same level of legal representation to aggressively defend their legal rights in California.

Having experienced lawyers in your corner to defend your constitutional rights and self-interest is vital to any law enforcement officer involved in a legal case that has gotten beyond their legal understanding. At the law office of Stone Busailah, LLP, our legal team has years of experience representing law enforcement officers and federal agents involved in critical incidents, criminal charges, police brutality, officer-involved shootings, disciplinary action investigations, and more.

Working in the public sector in the defense of justice and the community is a noble cause. You are hard-working men and women, often underpaid and overworked, and you deserve competent and communicative legal representation, no matter the circumstances. Our law firm, based out of Los Angeles County, proudly serves law enforcement personnel statewide in a number of different legal matters, from civil rights lawsuits and criminal charges to family law cases and estate planning.

Have You Been Accused of Police Misconduct?

Police officers and their departments face intense scrutiny day in and day out as they attempt to protect and serve their communities and uphold the word of the law. They have the legal right to arrest, detain, investigate, and use force in order to uphold public safety. But sometimes, these actions come under question. Any interaction with the public could be recorded and misconstrued in a hundred different ways. The result could be an investigation against the law enforcement officer for police misconduct, violation of civil rights, or even federal criminal charges. Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors have recently made a habit of targeting law enforcement officers to make examples of them.

If you or your police department are facing charges for misconduct or a crime, you must retain professional legal representation during the legal process. You can bet that the supposed victim is going to hire attorneys to represent their interests, so you need to do the same.

Stone Busailah, LLP has extensive experience representing clients in police misconduct cases. Whatever the charges, our legal team is available 24/7 to answer the call and arrive on the scene of a critical incident or case requiring our services. We have extensive legal experience representing clients in all types of cases that scrutinize the actions of police officers. It’s highly critical that you retain professional legal counsel if you are facing such charges, and we would be proud to be that representation.

Please get in touch with us to schedule your initial consultation today.

Is There an Ongoing Internal Affairs Investigation?

Even when a police officer or federal agent has done nothing wrong and only acted within the bounds of their authority, their actions can still come under question by their departments. Officer-involved shootings, questionable police reports, car accidents, death of a suspect, and questionable use of force are all causes for investigations that could ultimately result in the loss of the officer’s job.

Not all police misconduct cases relate to criminal charges. Most internal affairs investigations relate to allegations of police department policy violations. Due process will differ from one Police Department to the next, but usually, a law enforcement officer has the right to a hearing and a review of the allegations made against them for violating the Police Department or public policy.

When facing the loss of your job and the potential for jail time, you must consult with an experienced attorney without delay.

Do You Want to Make an Employment Law Claim?

Stone Busailah, LLP has extensive experience representing police officers who have administrative disputes with their police departments or superiors. These can include discrimination lawsuits, mediation cases, disciplinary actions, and more.

Federal discrimination laws provide protections to law enforcement officers who have suffered unfair and illegal treatment on the job. Whether you’ve gotten in trouble for being a whistleblower, you have direct evidence of workplace discrimination, or were wrongfully suspended from duty, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our law firm to discuss your case in more detail.

Have You Established a Legally Valid Estate Plan?

Law enforcement is a dangerous calling. No police officer ever truly knows when the next call might be their last. As such, it is necessary for police officers to take the time to plan for the future and the futures of their loved ones. By establishing valid wills, trusts, advanced healthcare directives, and powers of attorney, it is possible to contend with future uncertainties and make matters simpler for your surviving loved ones if the worst should ever happen.

Are You Contending with Complex Family Law Matters?

Upholding the rule of law might be your professional calling, but we understand that all law enforcement officers return home to families and live lives of their own. Sometimes, these families can lead to difficulties beyond our ability to comprehend on our own. In such situations, it may be necessary to get the law involved.

As a full-service law firm, we provide compassionate legal representation to police officers and other law enforcement personnel facing difficult family law matters. Our cases include but are not limited to divorce matters, child custody negotiations, child support, alimony, and more.
