discrimination by a police officer

Answered 7 years and 10 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
If the officer ACTUALLY ADMITTED to lying on the report, then you might have something useful to work with.

If you had a crimnal defense lawyer involved - the best bet is to apporach them about such issues or possible a referal to a civil trial or civil rights lawyer. ... Read More
