Our goal is to hold all responsible parties accountable, including the primary abuser, coworkers, staff members, or any other people who were aware of the sexual abuse but failed to take action to report it to the proper authorities.

By pursuing civil claims against individuals and institutions, our goal is to prevent future abuses and to ensure sexual abuse survivors receive comprehensive justice and compensation for their suffering.

We have the resources to conduct thorough investigations, gather evidence, and work with experts to build a strong civil case, which is crucial in establishing liability and seeking justice for the survivor.
Our attorneys are skilled negotiators who can work with opposing parties, such as institutions or individuals responsible for sexual abuse, to seek settlements that provide fair compensation for the survivor. At the same time, we offer compassionate and supportive guidance to survivors throughout the legal process.
When negotiations fail to deliver the desired results, we are prepared to take cases to court and represent our clients in litigation. We can also help ensure that survivors are protected from retaliation or harassment, which is often a concern in sexual abuse cases.

What is Sexual Abuse?
Sexual abuse is generally described as any nonconsensual or unwanted sexual act against someone. Pressuring, forcing, manipulating, coercing, and intimidating someone into doing a sexual act or tolerating a sexual act is sexual abuse.
Sexual abuse can also become a crime, but often legally defined as a civil personal injury in that it can leave the victim with long-term physical, psychological, and emotional damage that impacts their quality of life. Sex abusers can target both adults and children, and they can also assault people using both verbal and non-verbal tactics.
Suppose you believe that you or a loved one survived sexual abuse. In that case, regardless of the type, you need to call our experienced California sexual abuse lawyer to arrange a private consultation to learn about your legal rights and what your case is potentially worth.
A large percentage of sexual abuse cases involve individuals, organizations, and corporations facilitating or covering up the abuse. For example, a religious organization might cover up complaints about inappropriate behavior from priests and have them relocated to other countries.
This type of action could make the organization liable for the survivor's damages, and the sexual abuse lawyers can pursue civil litigation against powerful individuals and organizations if the facts support it.
The physical, emotional, and psychological damage following a sexual assault can be immense. The medical treatment required for recovery is lengthy and expensive. It may take years for a survivor of sexual assault to recover.
We can strengthen your case by calling expert witnesses and uncovering past abuse cases that were originally covered up. We have the knowledge and resources to conduct the right research and call in the right type of witnesses.
In addition to sexual abuse casework, our law firm pursues parties causing serious and catastrophic injuries resulting from major roadway accidents and significant slip and fall trauma causing death, brain injury, TBI, spinal fractures, and other life-altering pain and suffering.

Are You a Survivor of Child Sexual Abuse?
Sexual abuse and violence are highly traumatic events that can have life-long negative emotional consequences. These horrible experiences can cause nightmares and high-anxiety stress long after the incident. When you find the strength to confront the parties who were responsible and file a civil claim for damages, you are taking the first step that could allow you to move forward with your life and bring a sense of closure.
Suppose you are a survivor of sexual abuse. In that case, you will need experienced legal representation to handle the damages you have suffered emotionally and physically. Our highly skilled team of sexual abuse lawyers understands the sensitive nature of abuse cases against vulnerable people. Most crimes against children are committed by those the child trusts, making them hesitant to report abuse out of fear of repercussions.
Often, sexual offenders target innocent child victims who are too young to know where to turn for help. Different types of child sexual assault can include Clery sexual abuse, foster care abuse, Boy Scout abuse, and sexual abuse in sports. Some of the potential available damages in child sexual abuse cases include the following:- Psychological and emotional harm. Sexual abuse often causes significant emotional, mental, and psychological damage to the survivor. If the acts of a sexual abuser inflicted these types of damages, you could be awarded financial compensation.
- Impairment of the ability to carry on with your life. Childhood sexual abuse or violence can affect them for a lifetime. Survivors might need therapy, counseling, or medical treatment to carry on with their daily life.
- Financial harm. If child sexual abuse caused financial damages later in their life, such as missed wages, they could be included in a settlement.
- Punitive damages. In cases of extreme recklessness or gross negligence, survivors might qualify for a punitive damage award.
Notably, the specific damages you might be able to recover will always depend on the specific details of your case. Our child sexual abuse lawyers can evaluate your child sexual abuse case and calculate the potential worth.
