The Zeiger Firm - Pittsburgh

At The Zeiger Firm, we specialize in defending the civil rights of individuals who have experienced police misconduct in Pittsburgh and throughout Pennsylvania. Our dedicated team of attorneys is committed to holding law enforcement accountable when they violate the civil liberties of citizens. We handle a variety of cases involving:

- Taser Misuse: Although tasers are intended to be non-lethal, improper use can result in severe injury or death. If you or a loved one has been unnecessarily tased, our experienced civil rights attorneys can evaluate your case to determine if there has been a violation of your rights.

- Police Brutality: This includes any wanton, cruel, or excessive use of force by police officers, such as beatings, sexual assault, improper use of firearms or tasers, misuse of police canines, or neglect of detainee safety. Victims of police brutality may seek compensation for healthcare costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

- Excessive Force: When police use more force than necessary to control a situation, it can result in severe injury or death. Our attorneys can help determine if the force used was excessive and seek justice on your behalf.

- False Imprisonment and Arrest: If you've been unlawfully restrained or arrested without probable cause, you may have a claim for false imprisonment or false arrest. Our legal team can help you understand your rights and pursue appropriate legal action.

- Malicious Prosecution: This occurs when prosecutors or officers initiate criminal proceedings without probable cause, often to harass or retaliate against an individual. We can assist in proving malicious prosecution and seek damages for the harm caused.

- Racial Profiling: If you have been targeted by law enforcement solely based on race, color, ethnicity, or national origin, you may have a claim for racial profiling. Our attorneys are experienced in handling these complex cases and can help protect your civil rights.

- Misuse of Police Body Cameras: Body cameras are intended to promote transparency, but misuse or tampering with footage can be a civil rights violation. We can investigate and address any misconduct related to body camera footage.

Our firm has a proven track record of securing significant awards for our clients and is not afraid to take cases to court to ensure justice is served. For over two decades, The Zeiger Firm has been a steadfast advocate for victims of police misconduct, recovering many six- and seven-figure awards on their behalf.
