Types of Cases We Handle
Inappropriate Relationships with Staff or Caretakers
Any romantic, sexual, or boundary-crossing relationship between staff and a patient in treatment is exploitation, not connection. The facility that allowed it to happen is legally responsible.

The Power Imbalance Inside Treatment Is Real — and the Law Recognizes It
Patients in treatment are not in a position to freely consent to romantic or sexual relationships with the staff who control their medication, their schedule, their housing, and their care plan. That power imbalance is not a technicality — it is the reason these relationships are prohibited, and why they constitute exploitation regardless of how they were framed at the time.
How negligence happens:
Therapists or techs forming personal or sexual relationships
Staff grooming or manipulating patients in crisis
Facilities allowing unchecked contact or ignoring complaints
Predatory behavior disguised as "support" or "connection"
Many survivors spend months wondering whether what happened was really wrong, or whether they somehow invited it. They did not. The facility hired that person, placed them in a position of authority over vulnerable patients, and failed to create the oversight that would have stopped this. That responsibility belongs entirely to the facility.
We Have Handled These Cases Before — and We Know What Accountability Looks Like
Ryan and Susan investigate staffing records, supervision protocols, complaint histories, and prior incidents that facilities often conceal. In many cases, the pattern existed before the harm occurred — and the facility had every opportunity to act on it. That failure to act is itself a form of negligence that creates clear legal liability.
We pursue full accountability for the harm caused — including psychological trauma, disruption of care, and the violation of trust that comes with exploitation inside a place of healing. We handle every case with confidentiality and with genuine care for the person who was harmed.
