SEXUAL ABUSE & ASSAULT


Victims of sexual abuse or sexual assault have rights and remedies that can extend beyond the criminal justice system. Civil actions can be brought against individuals, institutions, or companies that should have done something to prevent the crime from happening.
 
If you or someone you know has been sexually abused, we encourage you to call Schroeter Goldmark & Bender now for a free consultation. We have assisted hundreds of sexual abuse victims to bring closure to a painful time so that they can begin their recovery from the emotional, legal, and economic hardships.
 
The sooner you consult with an attorney, the better chance of remembering key details that will help your case. If you suspect you have a claim, we can help determine the best course of action depending on the specifics of your situation. 
 
Let us help you
There is no charge for us to review your potential claim. If we take your case, we do so on a contingency basis, meaning that you don’t pay our fees unless we successfully resolve the claim in your favor. Contact us for a free, confidential case review or call us at 1-800-809-2234.
