South County Homeless Lawsuit


     As you may know, Dissent’s (or at least my) attorney is Santa Monica’s Carol Sobel, who has in recent decades gained a considerable reputation as a "civil rights" attorney.
     Since our battles with the district twenty years ago, she has become a prominent advocate for the homeless in LA and OC.
