What kind of lawyer do I need to hire to suit a towns police depatment for a botched investigation?

My brother passed and the police instantly ruled it a suicide, then took the weekend off. It now turns out that there is more to the story, but the crime scene was never isolated so there is no useful evidence. On top of that, I have had to provide them with the majority of the information they have. Any contact with them has been a struggle. This is obviously wrong and they are not doing their jobs. I need to find a lawyer but there are so many kinds. Which one do I need?

Everything depends: do you want to sue for money? Then get a civil attorney. Do you want to sue for criminal charges? Then get a criminal attorney. More specifically, you'd want to seek one who specializes in municipal law.

I think you should check out this website and look at the legal plans. The lawyers are AV rated and you will have access to what ever attorney you need.
