Prisoner Rights

Foley attorneys represent incarcerated individuals whose civil rights have been violated/infringed upon. These matters range from wrongful convictions work, First and Fourteenth Amendment rights cases, and challenge to prison conditions. These matters provide an opportunity for Foley attorneys to share their legal expertise with some of the most vulnerable members of society, who are disproportionately racially diverse.
