Child Abuse
When
to contact an attorney about child abuse?
Child
abuse is a particularly complicated area of law for which you need a knowledgeable
and experienced attorney. Sexual
and physical abuse is criminal and should immediately be reported to
local authorities. If you
want to bring a civil claim aside from the criminal claim, the first
thing you should do is consult our office.
What
to do for the victim of abuse?
First,
immediately report the abuse to criminal authorities.
Second, contact a therapist who specializes in this type of
abuse. Third, contact
our office. Child abuse
cases are complex and emotionally draining for everyone involved and for
this reason, you need an attorney who is sympathetic and understands
what you are going through but is also aggressive and knows how to deal
with tactful defense attorneys.
We
recommend you come to our office for a free initial consultation about
bringing a civil lawsuit against the person who committed the
abuse. If you are
scared for the safety of you and/or your child, we will help you find
the support you need to protect yourself. |
