Civil Rights Attorney In New York, NY
Standing Up to Police Misconduct and Abuse of Power
Manrique Law is dedicated to protecting the civil rights of individuals who have been harmed by police misconduct in New York. Law enforcement officers are entrusted with significant authority, but when that power is abused, the consequences can be devastating. Victims of police misconduct often suffer physical injuries, emotional trauma, reputational harm, and long-term disruptions to their lives.
Our firm represents clients in civil rights cases involving excessive force, police brutality, unlawful searches and seizures, false arrest, false imprisonment, racial profiling, coercive interrogations, and retaliation for exercising constitutional rights. These cases frequently involve violations of the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments and require a deep understanding of both federal civil rights law and New York state statutes.
Manrique Law conducts thorough investigations into police conduct, including reviewing body camera footage, incident reports, witness statements, and medical records. We pursue claims against individual officers, police departments, and municipalities when systemic failures or unconstitutional policies contribute to civil rights violations. Our mission is to hold law enforcement accountable and ensure that no one is above the law.

Fighting Civil Rights Violations in Jails and Prisons
Individuals held in jails and prisons retain fundamental constitutional protections, including the right to humane treatment and adequate medical care. Despite this, civil rights violations within correctional facilities remain a serious and ongoing problem throughout New York. Abuse behind bars often goes unreported due to fear of retaliation and lack of access to legal resources.
Manrique Law represents inmates, detainees, and pretrial prisoners who have suffered mistreatment while in custody. These cases may involve excessive force by correctional officers, denial or delay of necessary medical treatment, unsafe or unsanitary living conditions, prolonged solitary confinement, sexual abuse, or failure to protect incarcerated individuals from violence.
Our firm brings civil rights claims against city, county, and state correctional facilities, including claims under federal law such as 42 U.S.C. § 1983. We work to expose unlawful practices, demand accountability, and seek compensation for physical injuries, emotional distress, and violations of human dignity. By challenging misconduct within prisons and jails, Manrique Law aims to protect the rights of vulnerable individuals and promote systemic reform.
