Foster Care Sex Abuse

Children in the foster system deserve ultimate safety and protection, not betrayal and trauma. We fight to hold the agencies and individuals accountable when they fail in their sacred duty to protect the most velnerable among us.

School sexual abuse

A school should be a sanctuary for learning and growth. When educators, staff, or other students perpetrate abuse, it represents a profound betrayal of trust. We pursue justice against perpetrators and the institutions that enable them.

Medical Provider Sexual Abuse

The doctor’s office should be a place of healing, not exploitation. Sexual abuse by a medical provider is a profound violation of trust and professional ethics. We fight to hold predatory doctors, therapists, and other medical professionals accountable for their egregious abuse of power.

Image Based Abuse

You have a right to control your own image and privacy. When others weaponize real or AI‑generated intimate images, we hold them accountable for this abuse and fight to get you safety, removal, and justice.

Online Exploitation

You have a right to be safe online, not hunted or coerced through your screen. When predators, platforms, or institutions enable online exploitation, we fight to stop the abuse and hold every responsible party accountable.

Bullying, Harassment, and Discrimination

Bullying, harassment, and discrimination are not “part of growing up” or something your child just has to endure. When schools or districts look the other way, they fail in their basic duty to provide a safe, equal learning environment—and they can be held legally accountable for that failure.

Gender Motivated Violence

Gender‑motivated violence is never “just” a private matter or a relationship problem—it is a civil rights violation rooted in power, bias, and hostility toward someone because of their gender.

Workplace Sexual Assault

Your job should be a place of safety, dignity, and respect. But for many workers, the workplace becomes a site of trauma, fear, and exploitation. If you have been sexually assaulted or harassed by a supervisor, coworker, client, or customer while on the job, you are not alone—and you have powerful legal options.

College Campus Sexual Assault

College should be a time of growth, learning, and independence. But for too many students, that experience is shattered by sexual assault on campus. If you or your child has been sexually assaulted by another student, a professor, a coach, or any campus affiliate, you are not alone—and you have legal options.

Sex Trafficking

Sex trafficking is modern‑day slavery. It traps survivors in cycles of violence, coercion, and exploitation—often at the hands of traffickers, pimps, and the very businesses or institutions that should have protected them.

Religious Institution Sexual Abuse

Faith should be a source of comfort, community, and protection. But for countless survivors, religious institutions have become sites of profound betrayal, exploitation, and abuse. If you or a loved one was sexually abused by a clergy member, religious volunteer, staff person, or leader within a church, synagogue, mosque, temple, or other faith-based organization, you are not alone—and you have legal options.
