Civil Rights and Constitutional Defense:

As a private firm dedicated to public interest law, HSKRR takes a broad view of civil rights actions. For example, HSKRR represented the South Central Farmers in their effort to retain a unique 14 acre community garden in South Central Los Angeles. With the Western Center for Disability Rights, we spearheaded litigation that forced the Los Angeles Superior Courthouses to improve their access to the disabled. We represented garment workers who were sued after they protested their employer's wage and hour violations. We have also affirmatively sued the LAPD on behalf of protesters who were illegally detained and arrested during protests of the Democratic National Convention, and defended the community organization ACORN which was sued for its alleged vandalism at the California Republican Party Headquarters.
