About Scott
Since 1995, the Kamin Civil Rights Group has helped people accused of crimes in courts from 2600 S. California to the Dirksen Federal Building, in matters ranging from murder to tiger killing.
If you or a loved one is charged with a felony in the Chicago area, call us immediately. Whether you are charged with a property crime, a sex crime, or a crime against another person, we will be there.
Once your innocence is shown, we sue the police for their brutality, your false arrest or your wrongful conviction.
In Illinois, police brutality occurs with alarming frequency. Regardless of the charge, police often make false arrests and cause physical harm while making the arrest.
At the Kamin Civil Rights Group, we possess sophisticated civil rights litigation experience. We understand how police officers, sheriff’s deputies and other law enforcement personnel often abuse their authority.
