Child Sexual Abuse & Molestation

Los Angeles Lawyers Representing Victims of Sexual Assault, Sexual Abuse, and Sexual Misconduct

At the Los Angeles law firm of Taylor & Ring, we pride ourselves on our expertise in representing girls, boys, women and men who have suffered sexual abuse, assault or molestation. Our lawyers have achieved a reputation throughout California as one of the legal leaders in this area of the law. Unfortunately, in today's society, there are many perpetrators of child abuse who gain access to children as teachers, coaches, supervisors, priests, and scout leaders. Our precedent-setting cases have helped bring to light the need for strict hiring practices and close supervision in any setting where children are placed under the care and guidance of adults.

Sexual abuse can arise in different settings

At Taylor & Ring, we approach these heart-wrenching cases with compassion for the victim and his or her family, and aggressive litigation towards the perpetrator and his employer who could have prevented the abuse. We represent adults who were abused back in their childhood and also children who are recent victims of abuse. Unfortunately, we have seen perpetrators come in all forms, including:

• Teachers
• Coaches
• Clergy or priests
• Leaders of youth organizations
• Foster parents
• Day care supervisors
• Police officers
• Neighbors
• Relatives

Victims of sexual abuse should consult a civil lawyer immediately

Often victims and their families are led to believe that the criminal process will achieve justice in a child abuse case. However, the criminal proceedings are only aimed at the perpetrator of the abuse; they have no bearing on schools, youth organizations, and churches who knew or should have known they had a dangerous employee working for them yet took no action to prevent that employee from harming children. In the cases of public entities like school districts, it is often the case that a victim, even a child, only has six months to file the appropriate claim against the public entity, even if the criminal case is still ongoing. Don't be lulled into believing the district attorney will preserve your civil lawsuit. Contact the Los Angeles trial lawyers at Taylor & Ring who can guide you through this difficult time and ensure that complete justice is obtained against all those who were culpable in failing to protect a child or woman from sexual assault or abuse.
