Take this quiz to find out if you can sue for false arrest


Every moment the police take away your freedom may later be worth money ($$$$) in civil court under a false arrest claim.

I have developed a simple two question quiz to test if someone may have a viable false arrest claim...

THE TWO QUESTION FALSE ARREST QUIZ:

(1) Were you arrested within the last three years?

YES or NO

(2) Was your case resolved with an Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal (ACD), Dismissal, or Decline to Prosecute (DP)?

YES or NO

If you answered YES to these two questions, you should contact DeVerna Law right away for a free case evaluation; our team of lawyers have recovered hundreds of thousands of dollars on behalf of our clients for police misconduct. Remember: If we don't win, you don't pay. We are here for you 24/7/365.
