GSA Law
We currently represent, and are investigating additional claims on behalf of, individuals who as children were victims of sexual abuse and harassment. The Child Victims Act, which went into effect on August 14, 2019, allows persons who suffered sexual assault as a minor to file a civil action against their abusers and the institutions that enabled the abuse until the age of 55. (Previously, survivors of sexual assault only had until the age of 23 to file a civil lawsuit against.) In addition, the Child Victims Act will be open for a one year, one-time-only period to allow all victims, regardless of age, to commence a civil action no matter how long ago the abuse occurred. If you or a loved one was the victim of sexual assault as a minor and would like to consult with an attorney at our firm experienced in representing victims of sexual abuse and harassment, please fill out the form to the right. All information submitted will be held in strict confidence.
