Sexual abuse is serious and devastating. Whether you or someone you love has been sexually abused, it can impact your life in so many ways – emotionally, socially, mentally and physically.
Taking action against an abuser may feel scary, especially if you go at it alone. The process of filing a civil lawsuit is often long and stressful but can help you seek justice and compensation for your pain and suffering. Attorney Crystal Pettiford has experience as a criminal prosecutor handling sex crimes and understands the complex and delicate nature of these claims. She strongly advocates for victims as they stand up against their abusers.
Fighting For Victims Of Sexual Abuse In Union And Essex Counties
Sexual abuse can happen to anyone and often occurs in places where you should feel safe, such as a church, religious organization, school or foster care. By filing a lawsuit against an abuser or organization, you can fight for accountability as well as compensation that can help cover the costs of lost wages, medical bills, counseling or therapy, and mental health issues such as depression or PTSD.
Every case is different and requires a careful strategy. Crystal knows how to appropriately handle these cases and will work closely with you every step of the way. As she also practices in New York, she is familiar with the New York Child Victims Act, which gives survivors of childhood sex abuse the right to file civil lawsuits against the Catholic Church and other organizations that harbor abusers.
Let Crystal take the lead in building a strong case while you focus on your healing and recovery.
