$1,422,500 - Police Brutality - Jury Verdict

The client was trying to buy candy for his younger sister. The store cashier would not accept the client's money because of a tear in one of the dollar bills. An officer in plain clothes who was in line behind the client became agitated and told the client to leave. The client claimed that he had done nothing wrong. The officer grabbed the client and threw him to the ground. While the client was face down and handcuffed, the officer slammed his face against the floor, knocking out his two front teeth. The client's original attorney wanted the client to settle the case for $32,000. After changing attorneys, the case proceeded to trial. The jury awarded more than $1,400,000.

The case settled before trial for $675,000.

$130,000 – Prisoner Mistreatment – Jury Verdict

The client was a federal inmate who was retaliated against by prison guards for filing certain grievances related to his conditions of confinement.
