How to Handle Police Misconduct in Georgia
If you encounter a police officer using excessive force, violating your rights, or engaging in other kinds of misconduct, you should take the following steps:
- Immediately obtain medical care.
- Document everything, particularly your injuries.
- Take photos as evidence of your condition.
- Call the Atlanta police misconduct lawyers at Van Sant Law right away.
- Identify any eyewitnesses and document their full names and contact information.

My attorney, David Van Sant and his law firm were outstanding in handling my personal injury case. I was out of work for a considerable amount of time due to an automobile accident and Mr. Van Sant and his entire team were always kind, professional, knowledgeable and especially available. This law firm did their absolute best to answer and return calls and at no time did I ever feel like just a number or stranger. My experience with Mr. Van Sant and his law firm (from beginning to end), were very positive as well as favorable.
