A victory was finally achieved on behalf of a transgender inmate! Attorney Elizabeth Mazur and I represented a transgender woman who was not only placed in a male prison but, due to the prison’s staff’s deliberate indifference, placed in a cell with a sexual predator.
The inevitable happened, causing incredible emotional pain for out client. She contacted Liz Mazur and I and we said: yes! We will take your case and try to get justice for you. After years of litigation and on the eve of trial, we settled for a substantial amount of money. Our client has been moved to a women’s prison, where her life has improved remarkably, even though she is still in prison. She doesn’t have to fear being raped or sexually assaulted.
