False Arrest & Malicious Prosecution Lawsuits in Alabama

False Arrest & Malicious Prosecution Aren’t Just Wrong—They’re Illegal

Being accused of a crime is traumatic. Being accused for no legitimate reason—because someone wanted to punish, embarrass, or silence you—is a violation of your constitutional rights.

At Kreps Law Firm, we sue police officers, prosecutors, and government actors who weaponize the justice system against innocent people. If you were arrested or charged without probable cause, we’ll help you fight back—loudly and legally.

Understanding False Arrest And Malicious Prosecution

False arrest occurs when law enforcement detains you without legal justification, violating your Fourth Amendment rights.

Malicious prosecution occurs when criminal or administrative charges are brought with no probable cause, often motivated by retaliation, politics, or personal bias—violating your Fourteenth Amendment rights.

These aren’t just bad experiences—they’re the foundation for serious federal civil rights lawsuits under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

What counts as false arrest?

We’ve seen law enforcement and agencies abuse their power in countless ways:

  • Arresting someone without a warrant or probable cause

  • Detaining individuals for “failure to comply” when no lawful order was given
  • Fabricating evidence or exaggerating facts to justify an arrest
  • Holding someone long after it’s clear they did nothing wrong

If this sounds familiar, you may have a case.

Malicious Prosecution: When Charges Are A Weapon

In a legitimate prosecution, the government seeks justice. In a malicious prosecution, the government seeks payback.

We file civil rights lawsuits when:

  • Charges were brought based on false, withheld, or incomplete evidence

  • A prosecutor or agency knew there was no case but moved forward anyway
  • The real motive was to silence, intimidate, or retaliate

  • The criminal or board case was dismissed, resolved in your favor, or exposed as baseless

It happens more often than people think—especially to whistleblowers, political opponents, and professionals caught in board politics.

How We Prove Your Case

To build a strong false arrest or malicious prosecution case, we gather:

  • Bodycam footage, dispatch logs, and arrest reports
  • Witness statements and communications from prosecutors or agencies
  • Court records showing the case was dropped or dismissed
  • Timing and motive evidence that shows retaliatory intent

We combine legal firepower with forensic investigation to tell the full story—one the government hoped no one would hear.

False Arrest & Malicious Prosecution By Licensing Boards

This doesn’t just happen in the criminal system. It happens in administrative law, too.

Licensing boards often:

  • Open investigations with no legal basis

  • File charges based on hearsay, bias, or internal politics

  • Use the process itself as punishment
  • Target professionals who speak out, report corruption, or file grievances

When that happens, we take it federal—and we go after the board, their lawyers, and the individuals who abused the system.

Damages Available In Civil Rights Lawsuits

In a successful false arrest or malicious prosecution case, we may pursue:

  • Compensatory damages for emotional distress, lost income, legal fees
  • Punitive damages when the misconduct was especially egregious
  • Injunctive relief to stop ongoing retaliation or clear your record
  • Attorney’s fees under Section 1988

You don’t just get your reputation back—you get justice.
