Our Approach
Survivors of sexual assault deserve skilled legal representation to pursue justice through the civil legal system. At The Shiraz Law Firm, we provide trauma-informed legal services that prioritize both your dignity and your legal rights throughout the process.
Our attorneys understand the sensitive nature of these cases and maintain strict confidentiality. We work closely with you to understand your goals and develop a legal strategy tailored to your specific situation. In many cases, we can pursue claims while protecting your privacy.
We handle various types of sexual assault and abuse cases:
• Civil claims against individual perpetrators of sexual assault
• Cases against institutions that enabled abuse or failed to implement proper safeguards
• Workplace sexual harassment and assault claims
• Cases involving misconduct in educational settings
• Claims against religious organizations that concealed or enabled abuse
• Cases involving healthcare providers who committed sexual misconduct
• Assistance obtaining protective orders and restraining orders
In addition to seeking compensation for medical expenses, therapy costs, lost income, and pain and suffering, civil claims can provide a measure of accountability that may not be achieved through the criminal justice system.
We work with trauma specialists, psychologists, and other experts to document the full impact of the assault on your life. Our attorneys understand how to present these sensitive cases effectively while minimizing additional trauma to survivors.
The Shiraz Law Firm is committed to handling your case with the utmost compassion, respect, and dedication to achieving justice.
