“Time and again I have witnessed firsthand the selfless work of FKCLC and its
lawyers and staff in support of disempowered people who have had their legal
rights ignored and abused by various policing authorities. In holding the police
accountable for their actions, FKCLC always does so in an objective, respectful
and just way, upholding the finest traditions of the legal profession.”
