Police Brutality & Excessive Force Lawsuits in Alabama
Police Brutality & Excessive Force Attorney In Alabama
The badge doesn’t come with a free pass to violate the Constitution.
At Kreps Law Firm, we stand up to law enforcement officers and departments when they cross the line. If you or a loved one were injured, abused, wrongfully arrested, or traumatized by police misconduct—we’ll take your case seriously and pursue justice with everything we’ve got.
Know Your Rights: The Law Is On Your Side
The United States Constitution—especially the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments—protects you from:
- Unlawful or excessive use of force
- Unjustified shootings or taser use
- Violent arrests without cause
- Illegal detentions or searches
- Racially motivated stops or profiling
- Retaliation after recording or speaking out
When police ignore these limits, they violate federal law and can be sued under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
Common Forms Of Police Misconduct We Litigate
Excessive Force
We’ve seen it all—beatings, tasers, chokeholds, slamming people to the ground. If it wasn’t necessary to protect life or safety, it was excessive—and it was illegal.
Wrongful Arrest
No probable cause? No warrant? Then that arrest may have been unlawful. And we’re not afraid to take it to court.
Unlawful Use of Deadly Force
If someone was shot without immediate and clear justification, there’s a case to be made.
Retaliation for Filming or Speaking Out
You have a First Amendment right to record police in public spaces. If they retaliated for it, we can sue.
Police Officers Can Be Held Accountable Under Section 1983
We pursue Section 1983 claims against individual officers and municipalities. These cases can lead to:
- Damages for injuries, pain and suffering, medical bills, and more
- Punitive damages for outrageous misconduct
- Attorney’s fees under federal law
- Policy changes to prevent future abuse
Police departments often claim qualified immunity, but we know how to get around it when the law is clearly established and the facts are on your side.
We Don’t Back Down From Bad Cops Or Their Lawyers
We’re not here to play politics or negotiate with bullies. We’re here to expose misconduct, demand accountability, and give victims of police abuse a real shot at justice.
If they lied in their report, we’ll find it. If there’s bodycam footage, we’ll get it. If the department tried to cover it up—we’ll bring it all to light.
These aren’t easy cases. But we know how to build them—and win them.
You don’t have to be silent. We’ll make sure you’re heard.
Law enforcement is not above the law. When they break it, Kreps Law Firm is ready to sue—in federal court, under the Constitution, with everything the law allows.
