Re: False Arrest

You may have a case for malicious prosecution as long as you did not waive any civil remedies in exchange for the dismissal and that there was no evidence in support of the allegations.

Re: False Arrest

This is a scenario you should have a qualified lawyer review in detail. If there is a viable case to be brought it will be pursued on a contingency, i.e. no recovery - no fee.

If you want us to review the matter feel free to call. There is, of course, no obligation and any consultation will be free.
