Case Details

Arnold Black was pulled over without probable cause by the City of East Cleveland police officers in 2012. He was beaten, arrested without probable cause, locked in a room without being formally booked, and held for four days without access to bedding, a toilet, or food. Evidence of the stop, beating, and internal affairs review was lost or destroyed by the City of East Cleveland. After years of pursuing his claims against the police department, DLG For Me secured a $50 million verdict on Arnold Black’s behalf and won the 2021 Public Justice Trial Lawyer of the Year award as a result. DLG For Me continues to work with community leaders within the City of East Cleveland to drive police reform and improve the relationship between police and the community.
