Police Misconduct Law Firm

When your rights are violated by a law enforcement officer, it’s a profound betrayal of trust that cuts deep. The very system sworn to protect you has harmed you, and now you must navigate a challenging legal process. Michael and Nate are experienced attorneys for police misconduct and excessive force cases who can help guide you along the road ahead.

At Underdog Law Office, we’re committed to holding law enforcement accountable when they overstep their authority. Our advocacy for victims of police misconduct in Multnomah County and the Tri-County area of Oregon combines aggressive legal representation with compassionate support during what may be one of the most difficult chapters of your life.

Holding Law Enforcement Accountable to You

When a law enforcement officer violates your civil rights or those of a loved one, the road ahead can feel intimidating. We have been down this road before, so you can breathe a little easier knowing that someone understands what you’re going through.

Here are some recent police misconduct civil rights cases where Underdog Law Office has successfully delivered justice for our clients: 

  • Portland attorney files 8 lawsuits against police actions during protests – In the aftermath of the 2020 riots, Michael Fuller filed eight separate lawsuits on behalf of people who were injured by law enforcement. His clients included a teacher, nurse, and student, who were hit by “less lethal” munitions that aren’t appropriate for peaceful protesters.
  • Jury awards $1M to family of suicidal man fatally shot by Portland police in 2021 – In 2021, Portland police fatally shot Michael Townsend, a man undergoing a mental health crisis. Despite the police officer claiming he feared for his life, Michael Fuller argued that the situation should never have escalated to a life-or-death encounter. The jury agreed, awarding the family over one million dollars in compensation.
