Madison Civil Rights Attorneys: Protecting Victims Of Extreme Police Brutality And Misconduct In Wisconsin

Becoming the victim of police brutality or the target of a wrongful arrest can be terrifying. If you are the victim of police misconduct and need a civil rights lawyer, our attorneys at Kasieta Legal Group, LLC, have been serving the community of Madison and protecting the rights of clients throughout Wisconsin for over 25 years. We fight for those who have suffered extreme constitutional violations or significant physical harm at the hands of the state.

Extreme Cases That The Firm Handles

While many situations involve technical errors or minor disputes, our firm focuses exclusively on cases involving egregious misconduct and serious physical injury. We prioritize litigation where the violation of your constitutional rights has resulted in a life-altering impact.

We provide aggressive representation for victims of:

• Excessive force: Cases involving the use of tasers, batons or physical strikes that result in permanent injury or significant trauma
• Police shootings: Representation for families and victims in cases involving the unjustified use of deadly force
• Severe physical assault: Unprovoked violence by law enforcement during an arrest or while in custody
• Wrongful conviction: Cases where deliberate misconduct by officials led to a loss of liberty
• Life-threatening medical indifference: When jail or prison staff intentionally ignore a severe medical emergency, leading to significant physical harm or death

Our firm does not handle administrative jail grievances, such as disputes regarding mail delivery, commissary access or minor disciplinary issues. We represent clients who have suffered extreme constitutional violations and significant injury.

Constitutional Protections Against Police Misconduct

Our state and federal constitutions protect civilians from abusive of police power. Abuse of power by law enforcement is a civil rights violation. This can include:

• The use of excessive or unnecessary force, including unjustified police shooting
• Discriminatory behaviors like racial profiling
• Wrongful or illegal arrest without probable cause
• Malicious prosecution
• Illegal searches, such as unnecessary or unwarranted strip searches or cavity searches
• Sexual assault or harassment by a police officer

Our commitment to protecting the rights of Madison community members extends beyond employment law and those whose civil rights are violated in a workplace setting, to those who are abused by law enforcement. If you have been the victim of police brutality, we might be able to help defend your civil rights.

Racial Disparities In Wisconsin Jails And Prisons

Inmates who have been convicted of crimes give up some of their constitutional rights, like the right to their personal dom, the right to privacy and the right to personal property if that property is considered contraband. However, prisoners still have basic human and civil rights, including:

• The right to be from assault and abuse by prison employees
• The right to be protected from assault and abuse by other prisoners
• The right to be from sexual abuse
• The right to receive medical treatment

Deplorable conditions at Wisconsin prisons or jails can also be a violation of human and civil rights. Just because you are incarcerated or have been convicted of a crime does not mean that you give up all of your civil rights. If you or a loved one has suffered severe injury or egregious neglect while in prison or jail, our civil rights attorneys can help you.
