False Arrest
Dedicated Protectors of New Yorkers' Rights
Short of serious injury, illness or the death of a family member, it is hard to imagine a more traumatic situation than being a victim of false arrest. The police and the courts have the power, and it may feel impossible to challenge an injustice that may permanently damage your reputation, job prospects, and emotional well-being.
At the Law Office of Stephen R. Krawitz, we are ready to hear you out, and we know how to evaluate whether your situation merits a lawsuit or other action. Please contact us today if you or a family member is a victim of false arrest or is being maliciously prosecuted by the authorities.
