Prisoner's Rights Attorney in Charlotte, North Carolina and Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Prisoner's Rights

Our United States Supreme Court has said prisoners don’t give up ALL their rights at the prison door.  When it comes to fighting for those limited rights that prisoners do have while incarcerated, there are few law firms that are willing to go up against prison officials who violate them.  Here at Figueroa & Associates, we are willing to make sure the United States Supreme Court’s words are honored.  The firm will focus on:

• First Amendment violations

• Eighth Amendment violations

• Fourteenth Amendment Violations

The violations of the amendments include, but is not limited to, cruel and unusual punishment of prisoners, personal injury of prisoners and the right to humane facilities and conditions.  Incarcerated individuals still have basic rights that cannot be violated. If your rights are violated while serving time, our attorney will ensure that you have a voice that reaches beyond your confinement.

Please note, however, although people may be imprisoned and it may seem harsh for you or your loved one, what one may feel is a wrongful act, does not automatically make it a “constitutional violation”. Furthermore, prison officials are protected by qualified immunity.  Therefore, it is important to note that this law firm only handles civil prison lawsuits based on a hybrid contract, which requires the client to pay an upfront retainer with a contingency fee paid to the firm once the case is resolved.

If you are interested in a passionate attorney fighting for your rights, give us a call.
