Re: Police Officer

You need to act immediately. Your time limit

may have already expired. Depending on actions

you may have already taken you might still have

a claim, but you need to speak with an attorney

immediately. At most you have until the 28th of

this month to file an action. You need to contact

my office or another attorney immediately and explain

what exactly happened and what you have done so

far. You can contact me at 805-546-9909 or email me at

the email address below. I am located in San Luis

Obispo, but I practice law throughout the State

of California.

I look forward to hearing from you.
