Morristown Police Misconduct Attorney
Protecting the Rights of Those Injured by Police Brutality
Police officers are a group of people that we generally place a great amount of trust in. We expect them to uphold justice, treat civilians with respect and maintain a safe environment for those that live in their area of jurisdiction. For the most part, law officers act in an ethical manner and serve citizens with the protection they need. In some cases, unfortunately they may abuse the power that has been bestowed upon them, damaging the lives of innocent victims.
Police brutality can leave a person emotionally, physically and financially scarred. Whether through use of excessive force or performing a wrongful arrest, a law officer is in the act of exploiting their power. Pursuing a claim against an officer that has brought harm to you or your loved one is something that should only be done with the help of a qualified police brutality lawyer. The Bowlin Law Firm offers qualified and experienced legal representation for those dealing with the aftermath of police misconduct. Having been selected for inclusion in the list of Tennessee's Super Lawyers® Rising StarsSM for 2013, Attorney Bowlin is highly esteemed for his work in the field and he is more than willing to help those facing this type of case.
What constitutes police brutality?
While many may think purely of physical violence against a suspect as police misconduct, it comes in many forms. Our Morristown police misconduct lawyers understand that no matter how minimal or severe the brutality, that justice must be served.
We can advocate on your behalf if you have been the victim of any of the following actions from a police officer:
- Racial profiling
- Sexual assault
- Strip searching that is unnecessary and debasing
- Physical violence that is unwarranted
- Any form of coercion or blackmail, forcing you into an action you don't want to take
- False arrest

A few years ago I was addicted to drugs. My addiction led me to steal and eventually I caught a few criminal charges. Troy Bowlin took my case. I spent time in jail for a little while as my bond was revoked. Troy immediately started working on getting me released and helping me through the release process. Troy was finally able to get me released to a 45-day rehab facility versus spending more time in jail. The rehab was a wonderful experience on my road to sobriety. Once I left rehab, the court appearances began. Troy was always present and on time. He would even be there early to discuss with me what would probably happen before court began. This was very comforting because when you are facing felony charges, court is very nerve-wracking. Troy was able to get me two years unsupervised probation. Based on the charges I had incurred this was short of a miracle. The two years gave me time to evaluate my life and become clean and sober. After the two years, Troy filed for judicial diversion. Once this was done, I have absolutely no charges on my record today. From where I started to where I ended up is all because of Troy's hard work. I find myself very lucky to have been blessed with this kind of caliber of lawyer. If it wasn't for Troy I would not be starting Nursing School in the fall. My future is bright now and my path is clear. If it was not for Troy I would not be as successful as I am now.- Former Client
