Sexual Abuse
Survivors deserve to be heard, believed, and protected. We provide confidential, compassionate representation to hold abusers and the institutions that failed to protect them accountable.
What to do after
- Your safety comes first. If you are in danger, call 911.
- You decide what to share and when. There is no pressure in a consultation with us.
- If you are comfortable, write down what you remember, including dates, places, and people involved.
- Keep any messages, emails, or records related to the abuse.
- Call us for a confidential conversation. What you tell us is protected.
We help you get the care you need
Many of our clients do not know where to turn after an injury, or how they will pay for treatment. Our team helps connect you with experienced doctors, specialists, and physical therapists, and works with your providers so you can focus on your recovery. Clients can be seen with no upfront costs.
How California law applies
Institutions can be responsible
Schools, churches, employers, and other organizations may be responsible when they knew or should have known about abuse and failed to act.
Deadlines have been extended
California has extended the time to file for many sexual abuse claims, especially abuse that happened in childhood. The deadline depends on when the abuse occurred and your age at the time.
Your privacy matters
In many cases, survivors can proceed without their name appearing in public court filings.
It is not too late to ask
Even if the abuse happened many years ago, you may still have a claim. A confidential consultation can answer that question.
What you may be able to recover
- Past and future medical bills
- Lost wages and lost earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Scarring, disfigurement, or disability
- Property damage and out-of-pocket costs
Common questions
Will anyone find out that I contacted you?
No. Your consultation is confidential.
The abuse happened a long time ago. Can I still do anything?
Possibly. California law has expanded the time survivors have to bring claims. We can review your situation privately.
Do I have to face the abuser in court?
Most cases resolve without trial. We will explain every step and protect you throughout the process.
