For 40 years, People’s Law Office has successfully represented victims of the police and other government officials. We have fought for justice for people who have been tortured or physically abused, wrongfully arrested or convicted, unfairly sentenced to death, or targeted as a result of their political beliefs or organizing efforts on behalf of movements struggling for justice and liberation. Through our lawsuits we have uncovered secret abuses by police and government officials - including a torture ring inside the Chicago Police Department - and have recovered millions of dollars for our clients through settlements and trial verdicts.
