The new California law went into effect on January 1, 2020, and gives all abuse survivors, regardless of their current age, three years to file a civil claim for the abuse they suffered.  Some abuse survivors may have even longer.  However, the three year “window” that expires on January 1, 2023, may be significantly shortened if a defendant files for bankruptcy, which means abuse survivors need to act now to make sure their rights are protected.

We represent many abuse survivors in California with claims against the Catholic Church, the Boy Scouts, the Mormon Church, and many other youth-serving organizations.  We will file and pursue many of the first lawsuits against these institutions.  However, we strive to provide our clients with as many options as possible, including resolving their claim informally or filing a lawsuit if settlement discussions are not productive.

If you or someone you loved was abused, the time to act is now.  Please contact us for a free and confidential initial consultation.  You can contact us by filling-out the form below and hitting “Submit,” by calling us toll free at (888) 246-3675, or by emailing us at info@californiasexabuselawyers.com.  There is no charge or fee for speaking with us.

Please note:  if you are contacting us on behalf of someone who was abused, please call us in order to respect the attorney/client privilege.

The use of the internet or this form to communicate with any attorney or law firm does not establish an attorney-client relationship. By using this form, you agree that you are not expecting to receive legal advice from any attorney or law firm that is listed or mentioned on this website, you are not relying on any such attorney or law firm to provide you with legal advice, and you agree that no attorney-client relationship exists until an attorney has affirmatively indicated that an attorney or law firm will represent you. Finally, every case is governed by a statute of limitations, which means it must be filed within a certain amount of time after the event giving rise to liability, so time-sensitive information should not be sent through this form.
