US Attorney Civil Rights Complaints Lawsuits Legal Research
About this Gig
Are government agencies, police departments, or federal bodies hiding crucial evidence or delaying public records? Obtaining unredacted body cam video, arrest logs, and government files is vital for proving civil rights claims.
As a skilled US Attorney, I draft tailored FOIA requests and administrative appeals under federal and state open records statutes to unearth hidden evidence.
Services Included:
- Federal FOIA Requests: FBI, DOJ, DHS, BOP, and federal agency record disclosures.
- State Public Records: Police department bodycam footage, internal affairs files, dispatch logs.
- Administrative Appeals: Overturning illegal redactions, fee gouging, and wrongful record denials.
Why My Requests Get Results:
- Statutory Precision: Identifies specific record categories to prevent agency "catch-all" delays.
- Fee Waivers: Formulates public interest petitions to waive expensive agency copy fees.
- Exemption Overrides: Uses legal arguments to challenge improper agency redaction claims.

FAQ
What is the difference between a federal FOIA request and a state public records request?
Federal FOIA applies strictly to federal government agencies (like the FBI or DOJ), while state open records acts (like California PRA or Florida Sunshine Law) govern local police departments and state entities.
How do you challenge a government agency that denied my records request?
I draft a formal Administrative FOIA Appeal demonstrating that the agency's statutory exemption claims (such as law enforcement exclusions) were misapplied or unlawful.
Can you request police body camera footage and internal affairs records?
Yes. I draft precise open records requests designed to pull bodycam footage, dashcam video, internal investigation files, and officer disciplinary history.
