California Child Sex Abuse Victim Lawyers
Mandatory reporting laws for child abuse are intended to protect children, to prevent further abuse and to provide help and other resources where they are needed. Unfortunately, as seen in a shockingly high number of child sex abuse cases, suspected child abuse does not always get reported even by those who are legally obligated to do so.
Fortunately, other laws allow victims of childhood sex abuse to sue mandatory reporters for failing to report suspected abuse when they should have.
At the Law Offices of Joseph C. George, Ph.D. we help victims of childhood sexual abuse find justice and obtain compensation from predators, employers, institutions and those who could have put a stop to the abuse much sooner had they simply obeyed the law. What we can offer you is a high degree of personal attention, responsive service, diligence, respect for your privacy and dignity, and the experience of a law firm that has been focused on these types of cases since 1986.
