Proposed $3 Million Settlement for Hupy & Abraham Client Would be Largest in City of Milwaukee History

Hupy & Abraham attorneys Jason F. Abraham and Todd R. Korb have negotiated what will be the largest settlement in City of Milwaukee history in a police brutality case.  The $3 million settlement has been recommended by Milwaukee City Attorney Grant Langley.  The proposed settlement will go before the Milwaukee Common Council for a vote before becoming finalized. 

In 2003, Curtis Harris was in the process of being booked by several Milwaukee Police officers when he was grabbed by the back of the shirt and thrown headfirst into a tile wall, rendering him a quadriplegic.  City Attorney Langley indicated that this would be the largest settlement of an excessive-force suit that he can recall in his 38 years of service to the city.
