Serving L.A. County and Other Areas: Jail Condition Attorneys

Litt Estuar & Kitson, LLP, believes that the Constitution's protection of individual rights does not stop at the jail walls. Our jail condition cases focus not only on recovering damages for our clients, but seek to provide systemic change through broad class-wide injunctive relief.

We work tirelessly to address a broad range of serious jail condition issues, representing the rights of inmates and their families. Our areas of expertise include:

• The use of X-ray scanners on prison visitors
• The spread of potentially deadly viruses in jail
• The rights of pretrial detainees with disabilities
• Lack of hygienic conditions
• Lack of medical care
• Overcrowding
• Excessive force by guards

We currently have a number of class action cases pending regarding the unconstitutional conditions in detention facilities throughout California. We have a track record of winning multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements in civil rights cases.
