Holding Perpetrators of Sexual Abuse Accountable & Giving Victims a Voice
Sexual abuse is an ongoing crisis in the United States. Our firm’s founder, Deborah Barron is devoted to the legal battle against sexual abuse. As a Walnut Creek sexual abuse attorney, she is committed to standing up for the rights and fight for survivors of abuse and offers passionate and aggressive legal representation on behalf of her clients.
According to a U.S. Health and Human Services study, more than 83,000 substantiated reports of sexually abused children were made in one year alone. The actual number of incidents of sexual abuse is likely much higher because it is believed that sexual abuse, especially amongst children, is significantly underreported. Sexual abuse and molestation cause great suffering for victims.
Sexual Abuse & Neglect
The abuse and betrayal often arise out of institutions of trust such as schools, daycare, youth camps, boy scouts, coaches, doctors, nurses, foster care. Abuse also impacts employees and disabled persons, employees in the workplace and travelers on cruise ships. Powerful organizations like the Catholic Church have been able to shelter accused priests and clergy as there continues to be no mention of penalties, censures, or removal from office for bishops who continue to hide and cover-up for the abusive priests. Many sexual predators are often wealthy and powerful and able to focus on vast resources and high profile legal teams in an attempt to deflect attention, avoid criminal liability, and deny justice to their victims. Our attorneys also represent victims of child pornography where pedophiles and child molesters collect and distribute child pornography.
Holding Perpetrators of Sexual Abuse Accountable
Because sexual predators tend to abuse more than one victim, pursuing a civil lawsuit can help prevent the person who did the harm from doing the same to another child or person. Sexual Abuse victims are not alone and they have the rights to pursue their claims. We want to empower victims to come forward, report crimes and hold perpetrators accountable; thereby educating the community and inspiring others to do the same.

It doesn’t matter who a vulnerable child or adult is victimized by – a teacher, neighbor, religious worker, sports coach, family member or other people – children and adults who have been sexually abused have the right to effective legal representation through a high-quality attorney. In many cases, children are persuaded or coerced into sexual activity by a predatory adult. When this happens, the child has been lured or forced into sexual activity when he or she is far too young to make mature decisions or even comprehend the seriousness of the criminal act perpetrated against them. Many survivors will suffer from enduring emotional and psychological damages. At our firm, we have an incomparable reputation of success in representing such victims, which is why we are considered the leading California law firm handling sexual abuse cases.
