Sexual Assault Lawyer
We’re here to fight for you.
Sexual assault involves any unwanted physical contact that is sexual in nature. Survivors often find themselves experiencing a range of fears and other emotions. Many survivors are understandably reluctant to talk about their experience and want to put it behind them as soon as possible.
Sexual assault can have long-term physical and psychological effects, as well as affect everything from your family life to your job, to your basic daily functioning. Compensation may be available to help relieve the financial burden this can cause, and our sexual assault injury lawyers are available to help.
