Holding the State Accountable for Systemic Abuse
Recent investigations have unmasked a pervasive "culture of silence" within California’s women’s prisons. Following high-profile criminal convictions of correctional staff, hundreds of women are now coming forward to report abuse by guards, medical personnel, and state employees.
"Incarceration is not a license for state employees to commit violence," said Trial Attorney Darryl Meigs. "We are representing women who were preyed upon by those entrusted with their safety. Our firm is dedicated to ensuring these women are no longer silenced by the institutions that failed to protect them."
Internal Expertise Led by Darryl Meigs and Mia Hong
To manage these high-stakes claims, the firm has established a fully integrated, in-house unit led by Trial Attorneys Darryl Meigs and Mia Hong.
Mia Hong brings a unique perspective to the team, having started her career as an insurance defense attorney representing the nation’s largest carriers. She now uses that "insider" knowledge to fight for survivors, ensuring insurance companies and state entities cannot undervalue these life-altering claims.
"Having represented the defense in the past, I know exactly how these institutions try to minimize and litigate claims of this magnitude," said Trial Attorney Mia Hong. "I now bring that fight to them on behalf of women who have been profoundly damaged. We understand their tactics, and we won't let them avoid accountability for the negligence and abuse that occurred under their watch."
Inclusive Representation Across California
Karns & Karns is actively accepting cases from survivors at all 33 California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) facilities.
