Good’s wife, parents, and siblings have retained Antonio M. Romanucci, a founding partner of the Chicago-based law firm Romanucci & Blandin.
The family of Renee Good has hired a civil rights attorney who previously represented the family of George Floyd as they prepare to file claims against federal officials over her death.
Good’s wife, parents, and siblings have retained Antonio M. Romanucci, a founding partner of the Chicago-based law firm Romanucci & Blandin. Romanucci was among the attorneys who represented the Floyd family following George Floyd’s death in 2020, a case against the City of Minneapolis and four police officers that resulted in $27 million, a record settlement for a case involving claims of police misconduct.
“What happened to Renée is wrong, contrary to established policing practices and procedures, and should never happen in today’s America,” the law firm said in a statement to The Washington Post. The firm added that Good’s family wants “to honor her life with progress toward a kinder and more civil America. They do not want her used as a political pawn, but rather as an agent of peace for all.”
