If you or someone you love has been the victim of sexual abuse, you are not alone. Our team is here to help. You have the right to hold the at-fault party responsible for your injuries, and if you qualify, recover compensation from them.

Once we get involved, we may be able to investigate the details of your case and gather evidence, like police reports and medical reports that show the extent of your physical and psychological injuries and pain and suffering. We also gather medical bills, receipts, and other documents that show the financial losses you have sustained as a result of the abuse. Together, your medical records and financial losses may be able to help us calculate the total value of your case, determining what a fair settlement would look like for your claim.

We handle all details of your case from start to finish, including filing your claim and negotiating with the defendant’s lawyer to pursue compensation for your losses you may be eligible to receive. If we do not reach an agreeable settlement, we may be eligible to pursue compensation at trial.

While we understand that it is never a pleasant experience to put yourself or your child through a trial, it is often a necessary step for providing the court with the details related to your abuse. We often call other experts to testify to your emotional and physical state as a result of the trauma you suffered.
