Nationwide Institutional Sexual Abuse Attorneys
Holding Churches, Schools & Other Organizations Accountable
Coming forward about sexual abuse by a trusted church, school, or youth organization is incredibly difficult. We understand the trauma you or your loved one has endured, and we’re here to help you seek justice with compassion and respect. Whether the abuse happened last year or decades ago, survivors across the country still have legal options to hold institutions accountable. You are not alone—our legal team is ready to listen, guide, and fight for the resolution you deserve.
Our network of attorneys focuses exclusively on sex abuse claims, including instances where an institution ignored, enabled, or tried to conceal abuse. Explore common settings where we help survivors seek justice:
Cases involving priests, ministers, or other religious officials — such as Catholic Church sexual abuse or incidents within Jehovah’s Witness and Southern Baptist communities. Learn more.
Sexual misconduct by teachers, administrators, or staff at elite private academies, boarding schools, and public schools where negligence occurred. Learn more.
Incidents in Boy Scouts of America, Boys & Girls Clubs, youth sports leagues, gymnastics clubs, or any environment where coaches or volunteers abused their positions of trust. Learn more.
Molestation of toddlers or young children in childcare settings where staff or volunteers were inadequately supervised. Learn more.
Campus assaults or Title IX violations where schools fail to protect students from predators. Learn more.
Survivors assaulted by doctors, nurses, or mental health professionals in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, or psychiatric institutions. Learn more.
Children or teens harmed in state-run homes or foster families due to agency negligence or failure to screen caregivers. Learn more.
Elderly or disabled residents subjected to sexual abuse due to poor oversight or underreporting. Learn more.
Survivors of sexual assault by Uber/Lyft drivers or in accommodations where hotels failed in security measures. Learn more.
Lawsuits against vacation destinations, cruise operators, or airlines for in-flight or on-board assaults where companies ignored warning signs. Learn more.
Holding traffickers and third parties accountable, including hotels or websites that facilitated criminal acts. Learn more.
In all these scenarios, the focus is on showing that the institution or entity in charge had a responsibility to protect people from foreseeable harm — and failed to uphold that duty. Each of these practice areas has unique legal considerations and may involve state or federal statutes aimed at addressing sexual abuse.
Survivors often qualify for financial compensation that may cover therapy, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. In many states, revived statute of limitations laws allow claims—even decades after the abuse. Our attorneys stay updated on legislative changes across the nation, ensuring that survivors can pursue a lawsuit if at all possible.
By filing a civil lawsuit, survivors also send a message: these institutions must adopt stricter safeguards and accept accountability. Even if criminal charges were never brought or the abuser was never found guilty, civil litigation can secure a measure of justice and help prevent further abuse.
Although each case is unique, our process generally includes:
1. Confidential Consultation: We listen to your story and provide an honest evaluation of potential legal claims.
2. Evidence Collection & Filing: Our attorneys gather records, statements, and expert opinions to build a strong case for negotiation or trial.
3. Pursuit of Fair Compensation: Whether through settlement or court proceedings, we seek justice and resources for your ongoing healing.
Nationwide Presence: Our network of attorneys covers multiple states, giving survivors local insights with national support.
Decades of Combined Experience: We’ve handled clergy abuse, nursing home neglect, and campus assault cases across the U.S.
Trauma-Informed Advocacy: We recognize the emotional impact of sexual abuse and approach each case with respect and care.
Contingency Fees: You pay no upfront legal fees—we only receive a fee if we win or negotiate compensation on your behalf.
