Several weeks ago, a police officer damaged part of my house, resulting in the house burning down 3 weeks later. I have proof of quite a bit of this both before, during, and after the fire. The PROBLEM is, finding an attorney willing and able to take on the police department. The officer involved was nearly fired 2 months ago for an unrelated incident. I tried M&M, but they seem to hire an army of rookie attorneys who cherry pick easy cases without even considering filing a lawsuit against a county / rookie deputy. The fire VERY nearly killed me, and did kill all my pets. I live in FLORIDA

Did you try looking for an attorney outside the city in which the incident occurred? For example, say it happened in Dade then maybe try Broward. Also, sometimes an attorney may be licensed in more than one state. For example, an attorney may be licensed in FL and AL or FL and GA. These are just examples though. Also, if you haven’t already, try searching for police misconduct attorneys.
My question is how this happened? Officers often have qualified immunity. Departments may settle lawsuits but it is very hard to win against them.
