Comprehensive Legal Representation for Sexual Abuse Survivors

Our firm handles a wide range of sexual abuse cases, including institutional abuse, workplace harassment and assault, abuse by authority figures, and cases involving negligent security measures that failed to protect individuals from harm. Florida's sexual abuse statutes of limitations are complex and vary based on factors including when the abuse occurred, the survivor's age at the time, and when the abuse was discovered or remembered. This is why prompt consultation with experienced legal counsel is crucial to protecting your rights and legal options.

We understand that sexual abuse cases often involve both individual perpetrators and institutional defendants who may have failed in their duty to protect. Our comprehensive approach includes thorough investigation, evidence preservation, and strategic litigation against all responsible parties. Survivors may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, therapy costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases, punitive damages designed to hold wrongdoers accountable and prevent future abuse.

Our trauma-informed approach means that every aspect of your case is handled with sensitivity to the unique impacts of sexual abuse. We maintain strict confidentiality protections and work at a pace that respects your emotional wellbeing while ensuring critical legal deadlines are met.

Throughout Osceola County, we've built strong connections with local support services and expert witnesses who understand the complex psychological and physical impacts of sexual abuse. When cases involve serious physical trauma from assault, we work with medical professionals who can document injuries and connect survivors with appropriate treatment resources.
