Sexual assault is a horrific crime and can lead to severe and consequential psychological trauma. California recently passed the Sexual Abuse and Accountability Act AB 2777. AB 2777 gives sexual abuse victims more time to file a lawsuit against their abusers and the institution (employer, church, or school) that may have covered it up. If you or a loved one is a survivor of sexual abuse, we can help you hold the abuser accountable.
