Our Experience & Approach

Civil rights cases are among the most challenging in the legal field. They often involve powerful opponents and deeply personal harm. Our attorneys combine persistence with compassion, ensuring that every client’s story is heard. Whether negotiating with government agencies or presenting evidence in court, our team stays focused on results that restore dignity and protect liberties.

Client Advocacy

We believe civil rights law is about more than lawsuits—it’s about giving a voice to those who feel unheard. Shioda Langley & Chang works with clients from diverse communities across Los Angeles County, Orange County, and beyond. Many clients come from immigrant families or communities with limited access to legal resources; we take pride in bridging that gap with clarity and respect.
