Types of Cases We Handle
Sexual Assault or Unwanted Touching by Staff
Sexual misconduct inside treatment is a profound violation of trust and a clear abuse of power. You deserved safety, respect, and dignity — not exploitation from someone who was supposed to help you heal.

What Was Done to You Was Not Treatment. It Was a Betrayal.
Survivors of staff sexual misconduct inside treatment often spend months — sometimes years — processing what happened before deciding whether to come forward. That delay is understandable. The power dynamic inside treatment, the medications involved, the fear of not being believed, and the vulnerability of being in crisis all make it harder to act. That difficulty is not a reason to stay silent.
How negligence happens:
Staff using their authority to manipulate or pressure patients
Unsupervised one-on-one access with vulnerable individuals
Prior complaints ignored or covered up
Lack of training, screening, or boundaries within the program
What happened to you was not an accident, and it was not something you invited or allowed. A staff member chose to exploit someone in their care. A facility, through failed hiring practices, absent supervision, ignored complaints, or deliberate concealment, created the conditions that made it possible. Both the individual and the facility bear responsibility.
We Fight for Survivors — With the Care, Confidentiality, and Determination They Deserve
Ryan and Susan handle sexual misconduct cases with the full weight of their legal experience and with genuine respect for the survivor's experience. They investigate not just the individual who caused harm, but the facility's hiring records, prior complaints, supervision policies, and any pattern of incidents the organization chose to ignore or conceal.
We pursue accountability for every consequence of this harm — the trauma, the loss of access to safe care, the ongoing psychological injury, and the violation of dignity no person should face inside a place of healing. These cases matter to us, and we bring that commitment to every one we take.
