Government and Police Misconduct
The powers given to local, state and federal government authorities are broad and immense. In a democracy such as our own, however, those powers are not unlimited. They are held in check by what the framers of our Constitution so eloquently once termed "certain inalienable rights."
Freedom of expression, freedom of religion, the right to privacy and several protections against the abuse of police power are included among those rights.
If you or a family member has been the victim of police misconduct in Rhode Island or Connecticut — I can help. My name is Michael Bradley and I have successfully handled these types of cases in both states. In fact, I achieved the first-ever jury verdict against the Rhode Island State Police.

A Proven Record of Success in These Difficult Cases
