Proven Success: $2,700,000 settlement for African-American man injured by white police officers' excessive force

FEATURED SUCCESS STORY:

SERIOUSLY INJURED AFRICAN AMERICAN MALE v. CIRCLEVILLE POLICE OFFICERS

Following a routine traffic stop, William Harris was taken to the Circleville Police Station where police officers mistakenly believed William was the subject of an outstanding warrant. While at the station, Circleville officers threw William to the ground breaking his neck and causing permanent physical injuries. Cooper & Elliott achieved a precedent setting decision in United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals before Circleville elected to settle the case.
