Client: Hamilton Township and 16 Hamilton Township police officers
Court: USDC, District of New Jersey
Brief Attorney: Charles F. Holmgren, Esq.
**Results may vary depending on your particular facts and legal circumstances**
Plaintiff Ronald Saintil sued Hamilton Township and several of its police officers for an illegal search and seizure, excessive use of force, and several other claims because, at the request of outside local law enforcement and a search warrant, Hamilton activated its SWAT team to secure Saintil and his apartment to assist in a criminal investigation. On behalf of Hamilton Township and its police officers, we successfully presented a motion for summary judgment arguing that Hamilton and its officers conducted a lawful search of Saintil’s apartment and that the force used by Hamilton’s officers was reasonable under the circumstances.
