A: The ACLU takes a very limited number of police misconduct cases, without charging the client. Otherwise, seek a consultation with any attorney handling police misconduct cases. Depending on the facts, you might have the type of case that an attorney can handle on a contingency fee basis (meaning the attorney gets paid from any recovery). Or you might not. To make a determination of whether the case is worthwhile, the attorney must review multiple documents and extensively confer with you and any important witnesses.
