Rape Victim Lawyer San Jose, CA

Rape, and any other sexual assault, is a heinous crime, one that frequently goes unreported. By the time a young victim feels safe enough to speak up and disclose what happened to them, the statute of limitations for pursuing criminal charges or a civil suit has often passed. However, a recent change to California law reopened the possibility of filing a suit for damages against the abuser and school system, so many more victims have the opportunity to come forward and hold abusers accountable.

Our San Jose rape victim lawyer represents victims of abuse, whether the incident happened recently or many years in the past. We provide compassionate advice paired with tenacious litigation skills to best represent your interests. Our focus is on the damages that the abuse caused you and the losses you suffered; we seek to rectify these. A civil lawsuit for damages can provide you with the means for high-quality therapy and aftercare, and get the abuser's actions (and the negligence of the school district) on the public record.

We seek fair compensation for your damages. While we know that no amount of money can change what happened to you, the compensation you receive is your fair due and can help you rebuild, move to a different city, and feel a sense of closure, knowing that justice was served. We hold both the school district and the perpetrator accountable for their actions.
