Thank You for Visiting Our Site
We are two attorneys, who practice law in New York City. As attorneys, we have a general practice, but Tarif is known for handling high profile criminal cases, and cases of police brutality, including those of Michael Stewart, Yvonne Smallwood, and the five Black teenagers falsely convicted of raping the white bank executive “the Central Park Jogger.” On Thursday, June 21, 2007 we became victims of police abuse in Brooklyn.
What Happened?
We were stopped at a traffic light in rush hour traffic, on our way to a legal meeting, when we saw members of the New York City Police Department apprehend, handcuff, and kick and stomp a young Black man. We asked the officers why they were doing this and ended up beaten and arrested, ourselves. Learn more.
