Police Brutality

Successful New Jersey Police Brutality Lawyer

Police brutality involves more than the victimization of a single individual. It is a violation of the public trust. At Law Office of Thomas J. Mallon, in south Jersey, we are committed to helping victims of police brutality protect their civil liberties, obtain compensation for their injuries, and ensure that police offices are held liable for any civil rights violations.

Representing Victims of Police Brutality

Being arrested for a criminal offense does not give the police the authority to use excessive or unnecessary physical force during or after an arrest. And while Amnesty International proclaims that police brutality in the United States is at epidemic levels, pursuing these cases is difficult. "Problem officers" often file false reports claiming that any injuries resulted from resisting arrest or that injuries were self inflicted in a jail cell. In addition, prosecutors tend to give more credibility to police officers than criminal suspects, and officers tend to stick to the blue code of silence.

Thomas J. Mallon personally handles all our police brutality cases. Certified in Civil Trial Law, he has more than 25 years of experience handling criminal defense matters. In addition, he is a former investigator and prosecutor in the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office. He has successfully prosecuted police brutality cases against officers in cities throughout Ocean County and Monmouth County, including seven excessive force cases in the city of Seaside.
