LoRusso Described As Poster Child For Representing Law Enforcement Officers

ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, August 18, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Lance LoRusso, Principal of the LoRusso Law Firm was presented with the Fraternal Order of Police’s (FOP) Attorney of the Year Award at the 2021 FOP Biennial National Conference and Expo in Indianapolis, IN. LoRusso is the first recipient ever of this prestigious award. The Attorney of the Year Award is the highest honor given by the FOP to attorneys who represent law enforcement officers in the call of duty. LoRusso has represented over 100 officers on-duty shootings or in-custody deaths and has lectured on deadly force and other topics to law enforcement officers from more than twenty-five states, several federal agencies, and international police associations. He serves as the General Counsel to the Georgia State Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police. LoRusso is the author of When Cops Kill: The Aftermath of a Critical Incident, which is considered the authoritative work on officer involved shootings.

“The Attorney of the Year that we honor is the poster child for representing law enforcement officers,” said Larry James, National FOP General Counsel. “He started as a police officer and never stopped being a police officer. He has never hesitated in taking on a fight irrespective of the conditions.”

“When I was an officer, I thought receiving my bulletproof vest was enough to protect me. Now law enforcement officers need lawyers to protect them and it’s an honor to represent them,” said Lance LoRusso. “I am honored by this award and honored to stand for the people who answer God’s call and say send me.”
