Assault and Battery: If someone makes a deliberate attempt to threaten or injure another person, an act of assault has occurred. Although the actual act of physical violence is short-lived, the scars that remain can last forever. The type of assault and the injuries inflicted can also add to a victim's emotional and physical scarring. If you are the victim of an assault or you have been battered, please contact us today. We can help you receive legal compensation for your scars.
Defamation Actions: Defamation occurs when a person damages another's reputation by making false statements about him or her, either verbally or in print. When spoken, the statements are called slander; when published, they are called libel (the more serious of the two). If they can prove that reputations were indeed damaged by the statements, a Saint Louis defamation lawyer can get compensation for victims of defamation. For example, if an employee spreads a false rumor that his coworker is racist and that coworker is subsequently fired, the coworker can bring a claim or file suit.

Police Misconduct: Police officers work very hard to keep streets and neighborhoods safe. They can be counted on to combat crime and to enforce the law. But some unethical police officers abuse the law. They may use excessive force, commit racial profiling, accept bribes from drivers they have pulled over, or fail to read those charged with crimes their rights. Such misconduct should not be tolerated. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured as a victim of police misconduct, we can help. Please contact Walkenhorst Law Firm today.
