New York Civil Lawsuit Attorney
In the United States, being a prisoner does not strip you of your civil rights. In fact, prisoners are guaranteed many of the same rights they enjoyed prior to their sentence; rights that protect them from excessive force and refusal of protection. If you or a loved one have been refused these basic protections, the assistance of an experienced Brooklyn prisoners' rights lawyer can be helpful in your pursuit for compensation.
With nearly 20 years of experience, Richard Cardinale has successfully represented numerous individuals in prisoners' rights lawsuits against the New York City Department of Correction, the New York State Department of Correctional Services, and other corrections agencies and jails.

Mr. Cardinale's experience and knowledge led to his appointment by a federal judge to be counsel in a class action lawsuit brought against the City of New York alleging illegal strip searches of misdemeanor detainees by corrections officers in city jails.
This high-profile work, combined with his experience, has given him a reputation for providing assertive advocacy to prisoners and their families. A reputation that can be invaluable during compensation settlement negotiations or courtroom litigation.
Whether you are presently a prisoner or have been released from prison, Mr. Cardinale will fight to help you uphold your rights and seek compensation for any and all illegal treatment.
