Several years ago, while driving to a customer, I was stopped by two New York City police officers, who claimed that I had driven through a stop sign and made an illegal turn. One of the officers assaulted me and I was tasered by a police lieutenant. My wife and I were both arrested. We hired a lawyer who referred us to Michael Eidman, who sued the City and the police officers.

Mr. Eidman was conscientious, thorough and detail-oriented.

Eventually, the City made a final offer to settle the case, which we turned down. Shortly before trial, Mr. Eidman was able to obtain a settlement offer for 7½ times what the “final offer” was. My wife and I thought that offer was very fair and we were happy to accept it and to put a satisfactory ending to what was a very distressing situation.
