Killmer Lane is proud to have obtained a $245,000 settlement for client Tajuddin Ashaheed, who was forced to shave his beard in prison in violation of his religious beliefs. KL Partner David Lane said, "As this county slides into fascism, it is critically important that the public takes every civil rights violation seriously, and never gives up the fight to protect our Constitution."

Tajuddin Ashaheed brought the lawsuit against the Colorado Department of Corrections nearly a decade ago, after he was forced to shave his beard as he entered prison in July 2016.
