Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

I am participating in a long term, inpatient , paid clinical study.

I live in 1 large room along with a group of study "subjects" My direct neighbors have been behaving from the very beginning ( now is the 5 th week )in a noisy, obnoxious manner with total disregard to the facility's own rules . My complaints are taken but there is no actual effort made to make the conditions livable and once I was treated in in a rude way. My most recent conversation with the study chief ended what you can summarize " live with it or get out " On a couple occasions the complains by the other participants about the exactly same problem ( noise ) were addressed and remedied but not mine.

I am deprived of sleep because of the snoring at night and even the ability to take a nap because of noise during the day. I was offered to spent a couple hours at night in a separate TV room lying on 2x5 feet couch well suitable for a 6 year old, with a cold air from air condition blowing into my face and my neck and back are hurting from it.

I am exhausted both physically and emotionally .

I am able to quit anytime for any reason and be compensated for the time already spent but I don't want to do it since I have planned and adjusted my life around this study. Originally it was supposed to start a day after Christmas and on the momentary notice they have changed it to Dec 19 th 2012, which among others made spending Christmas and NY Eve impossible to spent with the family

I have signed an agreement but it does not address the problems I am exposed to but the basic civil behavioral expectations and rules were clearly set during the meetings at the beginning of the study.

( For clarification: My question has nothing to do with the drug tested -- it was understood this way by one respondent )

What specialty lawyer do I need ?
