Partners Timothy F. Maloney and Matthew M. Bryant were quoted in Maryland The Daily Record article “Contractor sues over extortion by Baltimore police sergeant, says BPD failed to prevent civil rights violations.”
“A home contractor from Montgomery County who was threatened with arrest if he did not pay back a Baltimore police sergeant in a dispute over a patio project filed a lawsuit claiming the city’s police department did not do enough to stop its officers from committing civil rights violations.
The lawsuit, which was recently transferred to federal circuit from Baltimore City Circuit Court, claims the police department’s internal culture emboldened Sgt. James Lloyd to extort the contractor, Luis Alfonso Torres Hernandez.”
Mr. Maloney and Mr. Bryant are representing Mr. Torres Hernandez, along with Bobby Zirkin of Zirkin & Schmerling Law, LLC.
