Prisoner Rights

Mr. Roesler’s civil rights practice includes Prisoner Rights. He just completed a considerable piece of ADA federal court litigation against the Colorado Department of Corrections (DOC) for its refusal to make reasonable accommodations in its treatment of a sex offender inmate with mental impairments. 

In an earlier landmark victory, Mr. Roesler also successfully tried a constitutional tort Section 1983 Fourteenth Amendment procedural due process lawsuit in U.S. District Court, District of Colorado, against the DOC that brought about systemic change in the DOC’s procedures establishing the right of incarcerated sex offenders to a hearing before removal from treatment. 

Besides the above ADA and U.S. Constitution Fourteenth Amendment procedural due process litigation, Mr. Roesler handles matters relating to the interstate transfer of parole, and sex offender registration issues.
