Tasha W.

My brother was shot and killed by National City police officers while suffering from a mental health crisis. As a result of many circumstances, no one was interested in taking my case since I’m going up against a municipality with unlimited funding. However, the McKenzie Scott law firm in partnership with attorney Emily Howe. My case was taken on by them who believe in “Fighting for the Little Guy” and won the largest police wrongful death settlement in National City, $1 million. I’m extremely grateful to have them represent me and fight for justice.
