Assuming that you have the facts necessary to sue the police, and have hired Blake Weiner Law to represent you, what happens next? Does the Firm immediately file a lawsuit? Not always. Every law firm and lawyer takes a different strategy, and every case is different, but in many cases it may make sense to reach out to the police department or government before filing suit to see if a settlement can be reached. Why do this before filing a Complaint? Filing a Complaint is not always free, and litigation can be time consuming. Blake Weiner Law has successfully settled cases for clients who were victims of police misconduct within just weeks of being hired and before the client even needs to go through the stress, cost, and time of filing a lawsuit.
