Holding Prisons Accountable for Injustice
We understand that some prisons are known to function under a do-not-tell policy, but you should never accept abuse or neglect. Our law firm’s civil rights attorneys represent men and women taken advantage of by inmates and prison guards.
In some circumstances, prison guards fail to follow proper procedure and ignore claims of prisoner rape. Our law firm also represents clients who were abused and sexually assaulted by prison staff. At Hill & Associates, P.C., we will help you level the playing field and fight back against the abuse.
Proving Fault and Seeking Maximum Compensation
Our law firm’s civil rights attorneys determine negligence through proving the prison failed to protect inmates. We will subpoena your medical records and any statements given to the prison’s social workers. The attorneys at our law firm will also subpoena correctional officers to gain statements about the culture at the prisons.
Our legal team is prepared to prove the prison failed to follow proper procedure by allowing prisoner rape to occur. We will pursue maximum compensation against the prison to cover the cost of medical bills and expenses, and damages for emotional distress (pain and suffering.)
