Earlier this summer, Firm Founder Joseph A. Ginarte announced the filing of a federal lawsuit against the City of New Brunswick and its Police Department. The case involved the tragic police shooting of Victor Rodriguez, a 19 year old resident of New Brunswick. On the night of January 31, 2012, Mr. Rodriguez was shot in the back by New Brunswick Police Officers as he was attempting to break up a fight. Mr. Rodriguez sustained traumatic injuries including paralysis of his lower extremities. As a result, Mr. Rodriguez will require the use of a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
