Kramer Levin Successfully Settles Civil Rights Case against the City of New York

Kramer Levin successfully settled our client’s Section 1983 civil rights case against the City of New York in the Eastern District of New York. The client’s claims against the City and various police officers centered on two allegedly false arrests, malicious prosecutions, and due process violations relating to certain property the City seized and never returned to him. This settlement is particularly notable because it was achieved prior to the completion of document discovery, depositions, or summary judgment motion practice. The client intends to use the money he has received from this settlement to secure representation in other important legal actions he is pursuing.
