Re: Police misconduct

It sounds like a complex matter. If you want to sue

the police department you can. If you want to

sue the city or a government agency you first need

to file a government claim. You have two years from

the date of the incident to file the claim. After

the claim is denied you may then file a lawsuit.

Your question is not quit clear and I therefore cannot

give you a clear answer. If you would like to speak with

me about this matter please feel free to contact my

office at (805) 546-9918 or you may email me at [email protected]

The consultation is free. I look forward to speaking

with you.
