Q: What type of attorney do I need for the police giving favoritism in a DV case ?

Long story short,my ex and I were arrested on disorderly conduct My ex works for the prison i'm sure there was favoritism played in there somewhere the police and prosecuter never Looked at the evidence. My attorney at the time advised me to go. Make a battery report myself 4 times the police department denied me this right. They finally added the charge after they looked at the evidence. The court case was closed, so they just added it on the original charges. But he never went to court on it. It was already dismissed. What kind of attorney do I need to help me with this? No one in Kansas will help me.

A: You should look for a criminal defense attorney who has experience with cases involving police misconduct or favoritism. These attorneys understand the complexities of the legal system and can help you navigate issues where there may have been bias or improper handling of your case.

Additionally, consider finding someone who has dealt with domestic violence cases specifically. They will be familiar with the nuances and can better advocate for your rights, ensuring that all evidence is properly reviewed and that any unfair treatment is addressed.

If local options are limited, you might explore state or regional bar associations for referrals or seek assistance from organizations that focus on civil rights. Persisting in your search can connect you with someone who is committed to helping you achieve a fair outcome.
