You definitely need to hire an attorney to represent you in defense of the pending charges. Once you have sucessfully dealt with them, you will have plenty of time to consider filing a claim or a lawsuit based upon injuries sustained during your arrest. If you are not already represented by legal counsel, you may call me for a free telephone consultaition at 314-727-2822.
