Specialized Defense for Private Security Companies and Their Insurers Morris Duffy Alonso Faley & Pitcoff has earned a strong reputation for defending private security companies, security guards, and contracted protective service providers in high-stakes litigation. Our clients include many of the largest national security firms operating across New York and the tri-state area. We understand the unique legal, regulatory, and operational challenges that set security litigation apart from general negligence claims, and we bring specialized knowledge that general tort practitioners often lack. Types of Claims We Defend We routinely defend security companies and personnel in cases involving: - Excessive use of force
- Assault and battery
- False arrest and false imprisonment
- Malicious prosecution
- Wrongful detention or removal
- Wrongful death in security-related incidents
Our attorneys are well-versed in the licensing requirements, training standards, and industry protocols governing the security services industry. We work with expert witnesses in use-of-force, surveillance, and private security operations to construct clear and defensible narratives in court. Client-Focused, Trial-Ready Defense From the moment a claim is filed, we focus on early case evaluation, incident report analysis, and preservation of surveillance footage or witness statements. Whether through negotiation or trial, our goal is to protect your company’s reputation, reduce litigation costs, and minimize long-term exposure. We are also experienced in representing insured and self-insured security firms and frequently collaborate with claims professionals and risk managers to ensure alignment to the litigation strategy.
