Civil Rights Attorney In Manhattan & Bronx, New York

The police are almost always professional and courageous individuals who try hard to do their job and protect the public but they are not immune to having a few bad apples in the batch. When a civilian encounters one of those bad apples the result can be a disaster. False arrests, malicious prosecutions, wrongful imprisonment and excessive force are all recoverable civil rights claims.

At Cascione, Purcigliotti & Galluzzi P.C., we have developed expertise in identifying civil rights violations and getting fair recoveries for our clients. We have a different approach than many of the firms that you might see on the news. Publicity may be great for the lawyer’s career but not so good for the client. You won’t see us holding press conferences or posing for photos with “civil rights” activists. We respect your privacy and your reputation and will quietly get you the maximum recovery possible. Here are some of our recent cases that you never heard of:
