Prosecutorial Misconduct and Malicious Prosecution Lawsuits in Alabama

Malicious Prosecution And Section 1983 Claims

We file civil rights lawsuits under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 when government attorneys or board prosecutors violate constitutional protections like:

• The Fourth Amendment (unreasonable seizures, arrests without probable cause)
• The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments (due process violations)
• The Sixth Amendment (right to a fair trial, right to confront witnesses)
• The First Amendment (retaliation for protected speech)

In malicious prosecution claims, we show that:

1. You were prosecuted without probable cause 
2. The case was brought with malice or improper motive 
3. The charges were dismissed or resolved in your favor 
4. Your constitutional rights were violated in the process

We’re not just fighting charges. We’re fighting the system that let them happen in the first place.

Who We Represent

We take on high-stakes misconduct cases for:

• Criminal defendants wrongly prosecuted by state or local prosecutors
• Professionals falsely charged by licensing board attorneys
• Whistleblowers retaliated against for speaking out
• Citizens whose reputations were destroyed by overzealous government attorneys

These cases are about more than clearing your name—they’re about making sure it doesn’t happen again.

Brady Violations: When They Hide The Truth

Under Brady v. Maryland, prosecutors are required to turn over any evidence that may help prove a defendant’s innocence. When they fail to do that—or do it intentionally—that’s not just unethical. It’s unconstitutional.

We pursue lawsuits when:

• Evidence was suppressed or disclosed too late to matter
• Witnesses were pressured to change or withhold testimony
• Exculpatory materials were conveniently “lost” or ignored

Misconduct altered the outcome of the case
