Police Brutality & Civil Rights Attorney — Sean Daredia
Police brutality happens far too often. If you or someone you love has been a victim, you need to speak with an attorney who knows how to fight for you — not just in negotiations, but in a courtroom.
At Daredia Law Firm, civil rights attorney Sean Daredia represents victims of police misconduct and excessive force throughout Texas. With years of experience and over 100 felony jury trials, Sean is a skilled, aggressive trial attorney who knows how the system works — and how to hold it accountable.
Most police officers are dedicated public servants doing a genuinely difficult job. But when an officer abuses their power, the consequences for victims can be devastating — physically, emotionally, financially, and legally. That trust has to be protected. When it’s broken, there must be accountability.
Types of Police Brutality Cases We Handle
- Racial profiling and discriminatory traffic stops
- Excessive or unjustified use of force
- Unlawful or humiliating strip searches
- Sexual misconduct or assault by an officer
- Coercion, intimidation, or blackmail by law enforcement
What Should I Do If I Was a Victim of Police Brutality?
Act quickly and document everything:
- Write down the name and badge number of every officer involved
- Note which department they belong to and identify any witnessing officers
- Get names and contact information of any witnesses
- Look for nearby cameras that may have captured the incident
- Photograph all injuries immediately
- Record the date, time, and exact location
Then call Daredia Law Firm. The sooner you reach out, the better we can protect your rights and preserve your case.
What Should I NOT Say to a Police Officer?
In most situations, you have the right to remain silent. You are not required to answer questions — even after an arrest. However, most states require you to provide your name if stopped, and if pulled over for a traffic violation, you must provide your license, insurance, and registration. Beyond that, you have the right to stay silent and to request an attorney before any questioning.
Can I File a Claim Even If I’ve Done Something Wrong?
Yes. Your civil rights do not disappear because of a prior conviction or pending charge. If an officer used excessive or illegal force against you, you have the right to pursue a claim — regardless of your own legal history.
Will the Police Retaliate If I File a Complaint?
Retaliation by law enforcement against someone who files a civil rights claim is illegal. You are protected. Filing a claim — or being part of an investigation into someone else’s claim — cannot lawfully be used against you.
