Sexual Abuse

Experiencing sexual abuse is a profoundly traumatic event, and the impact lasts a lifetime. When abuse occurs at the hands of another person—or within an institution that failed to protect you—justice and accountability are critical to the healing process. We stand with survivors, providing experienced legal representation and unwavering support through every step of the process.

​

Sexual Abuse Claims

​

Sexual abuse cases may involve acts committed by individuals, caregivers, employees, or representatives of institutions. Abuse can occur in a variety of settings, including:

​

  • Schools, universities, and educational programs

  • Churches and other religious organizations and institutions

  • Nursing homes, hospitals, or care facilities

  • Workplaces or professional environments

  • Residential or private settings

​

While no amount of money can undo the trauma, pursuing a claim can provide justice, financial security, and help ensure that others are protected from future abuse.

​

We have the necessary experience

​

We understand that coming forward is difficult and that trust must be earned. Sexual abuse cases require sensitivity, skill, and determination. We have extensive experience in these kinds of cases, and understand the investigation required to uncover evidence and establish accountability, navigate the complex legal requirements, and advocate fiercely on behalf of survivors.

When must my sexual abuse case be filed?

In Maryland and D.C., different laws govern when a sexual abuse claim must be filed. Although Maryland has abolished the deadline for bringing claims of childhood sexual abuse, there are limits on the amount of recovery that can be claimed in such cases. Acting as soon as you are ready to come forward will protect your legal rights and increase the chances of a successful and meaningful outcome. â€‹
