Deadly Force Attorneys
You must read the following notice before sending an e-mail message to Robins Kaplan LLP.
Any information that you send us in an e-mail message should not be confidential or otherwise privileged information. Sending us an e-mail message will not make you a client of Robins Kaplan LLP. We do not accept representation until we have had an opportunity to evaluate your matter, including but not limited to an ethical evaluation of whether we are in a conflict position to represent you. Accordingly, the information you provide to us in an e-mail should not be information for which you would have an expectation of confidentiality.
If you are interested in having us represent you, you should call us so we can determine whether the matter is one for which we are willing or able to accept professional responsibility. We will not make this determination by e-mail communication. The telephone numbers and addresses for our offices are listed on this page. We reserve the right to decline any representation. We may be required to decline representation if it would create a conflict of interest with our other clients.
By accepting these terms, you are confirming that you have read and understood this important notice.
If you have lost a loved one due to deadly force by a police officer that you believe was unjustified, contact Robins Kaplan for a free consultation regarding your situation. We have helped many families of victims of deadly force, and we can help you too.
Deadly force can involve a variety of weapons, not just guns. Some of the most common forms of deadly force include:
- Firearms
- Knives, other bladed weapons
- Vehicles
- Explosives
- Deadly force involving non-weapons, such as a baseball bat or tire iron
Even one unjustified death at the hands of the police is too many. Let our attorneys help determine what exactly happened that resulted in the death of your loved one.
Justified?
Losing a loved one to deadly force by a police officer leads to many unanswered questions by the victim’s family. Certainly the number one question in the minds of the surviving family members is, “Was the death absolutely necessary?” We can help answer this question in part by determining whether or not the responding officers:
- Identified themselves as police
- Had sufficient reason to believe the victim was armed
- Exhausted all non-lethal options before the use of deadly force
- Were properly trained in the use of deadly force
Even though the victim may have a criminal background, a history of drug abuse, or some other issue that resulted in the presence of police at that time, it does not mean the victim deserved to die. Our attorneys know how to uncover every part of the investigation to find out exactly what happened.
Rights of the Family
If your loved one was killed by unnecessary deadly force from a police officer, you have the right to find out exactly what happened to cause his or her death. Our law firm has the experience and the resources necessary to discover exactly what happened in your case, and help you recover financially from your loss.
