Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse can occur in almost any setting, including places that may seem the safest, such as schools and doctors' offices. It may happen suddenly or it may be the effect of predatory behavior over time. Children are often the most vulnerable to such abuse.
The many harms caused by sexual abuse require focused and expert care to deal with the long-term psychological effects of the abuse. Often the healing process from the psychological harm takes years. In many cases, sexual abuse can lead to severe and lasting problems that permeate all aspects of the victim's life.
The criminal justice system can put the abuser in prison, but it is simply not equipped to help or compensate the victim. In many cases, our firm can help the victims remedy the harms caused by the abuse.
Our firm seeks to make sure those victims of crime are not victimized again. We have represented many victims of sexual abuse, and we are sensitive to the many issues of privacy and psychological trauma that are involved.
