We Fight to Protect Your Rights

The Civil Rights Act and other state and federal laws guarantee equal protection for all citizens, regardless of age, gender, race, creed, and other protected characteristics. At The Watson Firm, we are proud of the work we do to protect the innocent and expose the abuses of those who are supposed to protect us. If your civil rights have been infringed by an employer, government agency, or another institution, contact our Pensacola civil rights lawyer.

Police Misconduct

Police officers are trained to treat the public with respect and dignity. They are only to use the amount of force necessary to protect themselves and the public. Unfortunately, there are times when police officers are careless, negligent, or cause intentional harm to citizens. Our Pensacola civil rights attorney represents individuals who have been harmed by police misconduct.

Police misconduct may have several contributing factors, such as:

  • Poor training
  • Personal prejudice
  • Lack of supervision
  • A combination of factors

This topic has gotten more attention in recent years with high profile cases of police brutality or misconduct resulting in serious injury or death. In addition to media attention, excessive force can give rise to a civil rights lawsuit.

If you believe your civil rights have been infringed, call (850) 607-2929 or contact us online to discuss your situation with our lawyers in Pensacola, Florida.
