California Police Excessive Force Law Firm

The vast majority of police officers in California do an incredible job putting themselves in harms way in order to protect California’s citizens each and every day. However, like any other profession, there are a few ‘bad apples’ who do not adequately represent the honor and integrity of the men and women who serve as police officers. These unfortunate few individuals have been guilty of overstepping their authority and/or breaking laws themselves. In some cases, California peace officers have used excessive force resulting in severe injuries to the victim. When this occurs, the Law Offices of Richard deSaulles can help.

The Law Offices of Richard deSaulles represents victims and their family members in police excessive force cases.

Our firm tenaciously pursues all remedies available to victims in excessive force cases- seeking to maximize recovery to the families of those abused and to deter future violations by the department(s) and officer(s) involved.

What if I Cannot Afford To Hire An Attorney?

Most of our clients do not have the thousands of dollars needed to retain an attorney and litigate their case. The Law Offices of Richard deSaulles regularly takes cases on a contingency basis. For cases taken on a contingency basis, this means:

  • You do not have to pay anything to hire our firm to represent you;
  • Our contingency fee is based on a reasonable percentage of the amount we obtain for you;
  • We will never settle your case without your authorization; and
  • If there is no recovery in your case, you do not owe us a fee.

For those clients who prefer to pay an hourly rate, our firm is happy to discuss such an arrangement. Either way, we will make sure that the terms of the representation are agreed upon before initiating representation.
