Robert Peirce & Associates: Providing experienced and compassionate legal representation for victims of sexual abuse and assault
Sexual abuse and assault cases are arguably the most sensitive area of law. The attorneys of Robert Peirce & Associates, PC provide experienced and compassionate counsel to help victims find justice for all that they have been through.
The emotional toll on victims of sexual abuse or assault can be overwhelming. The stress and anxiety left in the wake of these attacks and crimes are many times compounded by the criminal court processes. Victims and their families are left to try to maneuver through a system that does not always punish the perpetrator appropriately. Many times, they walk away with little or no punishment at all. This is not justice.
However, it is important to know that there are ways to receive restitution. By filing a civil lawsuit related to the sexual assault, victims may be compensated for the harm caused by the offender.
With over 150 years of combined experience, the Sexual Abuse & Assault attorneys of Robert Peirce & Associates, PC can help you or your loved one build a strong case while providing the empathy and support you need. You may be eligible to seek the following types of compensation in sexual assault lawsuits:
• Any medical costs associated with injuries suffered during the assault
• Any wages lost while recovering from the assault
• Non-economic damages, such as emotional trauma and mental harm
• Punitive damages if the offender has been convicted for the crime
A sexual abuse or assault case must be constructed well enough to stand up to any scrutiny or resistance from the opposition. “We know how difficult and emotional it can be to come forward with claims like this and to even consider filing a lawsuit. We work to help our clients build their case and compile important evidence that will help strengthen the claim while making sure they feel as comfortable and supported as possible,” said attorney Katelyn Edwards.
