Sexual Assault Victim Lawyer San Jose, CA

Our legal services pick up where the criminal justice system leaves off. We help victims of sexual assault secure fair compensation from the perpetrator and any other people or entities involved in the incident. For example, if you were assaulted at work, we may file a suit for damages naming the person or persons who harmed you, as well as your employer, citing negligence and failure to ensure a safe, secure working environment.

We know that no amount of money will return you to the state you were before the abuse and assault happened, and your compensation isn't intended to be "hush money." Instead, it's a form of justice against an entity you can't send to jail, like the company you worked for or the school you attended. It's also a way to get what happened to you on public record, helping warn others.

As your San Jose sexual assault victim lawyer, we advocate for your best interests throughout the civil justice process. The burden of proof is lower in civil matters than in criminal cases, but we still build a robust case against all parties who had a hand in your harm. Our firm has extensive resources, considerable experience, and access to expert witnesses to support your position. We want to secure the means for you to move forward with your life, rebuild, and get the therapy and treatment you need for healthy recovery.
