Sexual Assault Victim Lawyer Folsom, CA

Sexual assault and abuse cases can arise in many different settings, and they often involve individuals in positions of trust or authority. These cases can involve both individual wrongdoing and institutional failures, such as negligent hiring, supervision, or failure to respond to complaints.

Our Folsom sexual assault victim lawyer represents both adult and minor survivors in civil claims; we work with people who have experienced sexual abuse, assault, harassment, and other forms of misconduct. Each case is unique, and we approach every matter with sensitivity to the client’s experience while building a strong legal claim designed to hold the responsible parties accountable.

Civil claims can allow survivors to recover compensation for medical care, counseling, lost income, and the emotional impact of what they endured. These cases can also lead to meaningful change by forcing individuals and institutions to answer for their conduct.

At Kellogg & Van Aken LLP, we’re dedicated to standing with survivors. Our attorneys listen to your story, explain your options in clear terms, and work directly with you to pursue the outcome that best reflects your goals. We acknowledge that many survivors have concerns about privacy, so we take steps to protect your identity whenever possible and maintain strict confidentiality throughout the process.
