Civil Rights

At Lexicon Law, we are dedicated to fighting for the rights of individuals who have suffered from civil rights violations. We understand the immense emotional and physical toll these experiences take on you, and we are dedicated to securing the justice and compensation you deserve. Our mission is to hold authorities accountable, particularly in prison assault cases, and to be a strong advocate for you every step of the way.


We are deeply committed to representing victims of prison assault, especially those who have endured abuse in California’s women’s prisons, such as the Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla and the California Institution for Women in Chino. Women incarcerated at these facilities have faced unspeakable abuse, including sexual assault by correctional staff. Recent investigations have revealed troubling patterns of misconduct, ranging from inappropriate groping to forcible rape.


We are here to help those who have suffered in these institutions, fighting for justice and holding perpetrators accountable. If you or a loved one has experienced assault, contact us immediately—we are ready to fight for you.


At Lexicon Law we are dedicated to making sure your voice is heard and your rights are protected, no matter your situation. Don’t wait—reach out today and let us help you get the compensation you deserve.

  • How is sexual abuse defined?

    Sexual abuse is any unwanted sexual contact or behavior that violates a person’s consent, including touching, molestation, assault, harassment, or any other form of sexual exploitation or coercion. It can occur in various contexts and is a violation of an individual's rights and personal boundaries.

  • What are the statute of limitations for filing a prison assault lawsuit?

    In California, the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit related to a prison assault typically depends on the nature of the claim. For personal injury claims, including prison assault, you generally have 2 years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit. However, if the claim involves constitutional violations under Section 1983 (for example, if a prison official violated your rights), you may have 2 years from the date of the assault to file. Some cases may have exceptions, so it’s important to consult our team as soon as possible.
