Q: I got a attorney to help me sue the city of New York police department for injuring me. With a blow to the head , none of the officers were identified as polices officers to me until after handcuffs were put on me. My attorney isn't really telling me anything about my case other then when we have a deposition . It's been 3 years since the law sue started and I'm basically lost on the issue.
A: David's Answer: First, you should have a sit-down with your lawyer. You should be clear on what the strategy is, what the status of settlement negotiations are & how the case will proceed from here. Usually depositions are about the last thing to take place before the Judge certifies the case as ready for trial. For a 2d opinion, schedule a consult with a NYC Civil Rights lawyer. -- David Bliven, Bronx Civil Rights attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
