Shame, depression, and anxiety are common, understandable emotions among victims of sexual abuse. Many victims have feelings of anxiety and suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, as well. Although nothing can remove the emotional anguish you’ve endured, you can seek justice and closure by holding the perpetrator accountable for their actions. It doesn’t matter if it occurred once or multiple times, sexual abuse is against the law. You may be nervous at the idea of confronting your attacker, particularly if a child victim is involved, but we want you to know you have legal recourse to seek justice.

We strive to bring all facts to light with the goal of securing a favorable settlement or verdict that allows you to pursue the medical and psychological treatment you need and that ensures your attacker is put behind bars where he/she cannot commit similar acts against anyone else.
