What We Do at Our Office in Washington, DC

At Golden Law, our team brings decades of experience to every case—fighting against a system that often overlooks the basic rights of those behind bars.

We handle a wide range of cases involving the mistreatment of incarcerated individuals.

• Constitutional rights violations. Whether you've experienced excessive force, been denied due process, or been subjected to cruel and unusual punishment, we'll build a strong case to hold those responsible for violating your constitutional rights accountable.
• LGBTQIA+ rights. We understand the unique challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ individuals in correctional facilities. Our office advocates to ensure your identity is respected and protected from discrimination and harassment.
• Medical neglect and inadequate care. Substandard medical care in prisons can lead to unnecessary suffering and even death.
• Religious freedom. Your faith doesn't stop at the prison gates. When institutions restrict your ability to practice your religion, we fight to protect your First Amendment rights, ensuring you can maintain your spiritual practices while incarcerated.
• Sexual assault. No one deserves to experience sexual violence, especially when under state custody. We provide trauma-informed legal representation for survivors of sexual assault in correctional facilities, seeking justice and policy changes.
• Solitary confinement. The psychological damage caused by isolation is well-documented. We challenge improper uses of solitary confinement, fighting for humane conditions that respect your mental health and basic human dignity.

FOIA Requests

Although we primarily work with people who are incarcerated, Golden Law also assists journalists, advocacy groups, and others with accessing critical records through Freedom of Information Act requests. Our attorneys understand the nuances of FOIA exemptions and know how to challenge improper withholding of information.
