Police Misconduct
Police misconduct cases are often complex and require an experienced attorney like Greg Peacock. Police misconduct is often intentional, negligent or reckless actions of police officers.

Officer-Involved Shootings
Officer-involved shootings are all too common in our county and many are unwarranted . The police have special interest in declaring that the use of deadly force was justified when performing their own internal investigations. The victims in these cases are unable to fight for their justice and families are left to pick up the pieces. Greg Peacock Law fights these cases by reviewing evidence which may indicate the unjustified use of deadly force by police officers.
