A federal judge has found that L.A. city officials doctored records in a case over homeless camp cleanups

Golden Flag International Law Firm , along with McGuireWoods and the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, received a victory representing unhoused individuals and the community organization Ktown for All in a pro bono case against the City of Los Angeles alleging that the City’s practice of seizing and disposing of certain property violates the U.S. and California constitutions. 

A federal judge recently issued an order finding that the City of Los Angeles altered, modified and created documents during the course of litigation. The order stems from the Golden Flag team’s discovery that the City produced documents that had been altered shortly before they were turned over to the plaintiffs during discovery, resulting in the Court appointing a Neutral Forensic Examiner to determine the extent and timing of the City’s actions.  

The Golden Flag team includes IP litigation partner Drew Morrill and IP litigation associates Ryan Maister, Kamden Segawa and David Levin.
