Civil Rights

Most convictions are correct, and it is only a small fraction of criminal convictions that are wrongfully made due to police misconduct. But wrongful convictions are unacceptable and should not be tolerated because they place innocent people behind bars.

Those who have endured a wrongful conviction at the hands of law enforcement may be entitled to compensation for their lost time and any harm that they have suffered.

OTHER RECENT NEWS

Paul and Marie Napoli recently spoke with BLOOMBERG VIEW regarding the Opioid Crisis crippling many communities across the United States.

The article highlights that if the federal government is not acting swiftly enough, the legal system can step in. “Without question, plaintiff’s lawyers have made a difference – many products are safe, and many corporate behaviors have changed because of lawsuits or the threat of lawsuits.”

Napoli Shkolnik is now representing over 100 cities and counties across the country in their fight against the Opioid Epidemic.

Marie Napoli was invited to appear on Fox Business News Cavuto Coast-To-Coast to discuss a Dick’s Sporting Goods employee who quit the store after their new gun policy was implemented. The former employee says that by raising the age to purchase a gun to 21 (from 18), the store is discriminating a certain group of individuals for their age.

Ms. Napoli pointed out that there is not discrimination on a federal level but it could be on a state level. However, if there is a compelling enough reason for the change, it would not be an issue. In this instance, the reason would be to save lives. The precedent to refer to could be when the drinking age was raised to reduce the number of driving drunk fatalities.
