Child Sexual Abuse | Civil Litigation
Child sex abuse is not only criminal but is a life altering form of personal injury
If your a child victim of sexual abuse by a authority figure be it in your place of worship, clergy, school teacher, coach, guardian or parent we believe this is something no child should have to suffer. Perpetrators are weak in choosing their victims thinking that the child’s voice won’t be heard, believed or acknowledged or they themselves are mislead in the belief that they won’t be caught or escape the consequences of their actions.
Time has passed but the memories have not faded. As a child you were a victim. Now you are a survivor that deserves justice.
We Want to Get You to that Long-Deserved Place Where You Can Confront Your Perpetrator, Demand Change Within an Institution and Ultimately Restore Yourself Through Justice and Compensation…
We believe the children of today will be protected by the victims of yesterday.
