A: To find an attorney for a lawsuit against a city police department and CPS, you can start by contacting your state's bar association for referrals. They often have a list of attorneys who handle civil rights and police misconduct cases. Additionally, look for attorneys who specialize in civil rights or police misconduct cases, as they will have the relevant experience for your situation.

Legal aid organizations may also be able to assist, especially if there are financial constraints. It's important to act promptly due to potential time limits for filing legal actions. When meeting with potential attorneys, bring all your evidence, including videos and audio recordings, to provide a clear picture of your case.

Remember, a thorough initial consultation will help the attorney understand your situation and offer appropriate legal advice. It's essential to find a lawyer who is sympathetic to your case and has the expertise to navigate these complex legal areas.
