Do I Need a Sexual Abuse Attorney?
Sexual abuse refers to any form of unwanted or nonconsensual sexual contact. Oftentimes, these acts are committed in places where perpetrators feel empowered or protected, making them think they’ll get away with it.
Our team understands these tactics, and we’re prepared to hold abusers accountable for the harm they’ve caused by building a strong case on your behalf.
Our sexual abuse attorneys can:
- Advocate for your legal rights
- Ensure your voice is heard throughout the legal process
- Hold the person who hurt you responsible for their actions
- Seek compensation for therapy, lost income, pain and suffering, and more
- Take action against institutions that failed to protect you or enabled the abuse
Sexual assault is far too common, with someone in the U.S. experiencing abuse every 68 seconds, according to RAINN.
By taking legal action, you may be able to potentially prevent your abuser from harming others in the future — and Sokolove Law is here to help you take that step when you’re ready.
