In New York City, residents often find themselves up against powerful agencies like the NYPD or the Department of Correction. When those agencies overstep their authority, the consequences can be life-changing. A false arrest, malicious prosecution, or abuse while in custody is not only unfair, it is a violation of your civil rights. At David Ilganayev Law, PLLC we focus on standing up to NYC when your freedom and dignity are on the line.
Civil rights cases are about more than compensation. They are about accountability. They ensure that city agencies respect the Constitution and the rights of everyday New Yorkers. These cases often start with an arrest made without probable cause, excessive force during police encounters, or unconstitutional treatment while incarcerated. No matter the facts, our mission is to fight for your rights and demand justice.
The most common types of civil rights cases we handle against New York City include:
- False Arrest and Wrongful Imprisonment when someone is detained without probable cause or a valid warrant.
- Excessive Force and Police Brutality involving unnecessary violence such as chokeholds, tasers, or baton strikes.
- Malicious Prosecution where charges are brought without evidence or as retaliation.
- Discrimination and Due Process Violations including racial profiling, retaliation, or denial of equal treatment.
- Civil Rights Violations in Custody such as denial of medical care, unsafe jail conditions, or abuse by correction officers.
Taking legal action against New York City is never simple. The City will claim immunity, argue that officers had probable cause, or rely on strict filing deadlines to block your case. That is why you need an experienced NYC civil rights lawyer who understands how to overcome these defenses and build a strong claim on your behalf.
If you or someone you love has been wrongfully arrested or mistreated by a city agency, do not wait. Your time to act is limited, and the sooner you consult with an attorney, the better your chances of success.
