Harrison | Kristopher, LLP is a top-rated law firm of seasoned trial attorneys with over 35 years of combined experience litigating complex civil rights and wrongful death cases—specifically those involving Eighth Amendment violations against the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). With offices in Pasadena, Concord, and Sacramento, we are strategically positioned to serve clients throughout the state of California.

Our firm is uniquely equipped to handle high-stakes litigation involving inmate deaths that occur behind prison walls. These cases demand a deep understanding of correctional policy, institutional misconduct, and constitutional standards. We specialize in holding CDCR accountable for failing to uphold its non-negotiable duty to protect individuals in its custody.

What sets us apart is our access to confidential internal insights from within the CDCR itself—through trusted contacts who share our commitment to transparency and systemic reform. This insider perspective allows us to litigate with precision and expose the institutional failures that too often go unchecked.
