Max Morgan, Esq.
Sexual Abuse Attorney
Cherry Hill, New Jersey
Max S. Morgan represents survivors of sexual abuse in civil cases, focusing exclusively on plaintiff-side advocacy. He brings a complex litigation background to hold perpetrators and enabling institutions accountable, including schools, youth organizations, religious entities, healthcare systems, and employers. His approach is survivor-centered, prioritizing privacy, preserving autonomy, and achieving outcomes that align with each client’s goals.
Litigator with a record in high-stakes, multi-party matters, drawing on prior roles at national and boutique firms and a federal judicial clerkship in the U.S. District Courts.
Experienced in evidence development at scale—pattern and practice proofs, institutional policies, notice and cover-up theories, and damages modeling—applicable to clergy, campus, medical, sports, and workplace abuse cases.
Familiar with emergency protective measures and civil procedure tools (protective orders, confidentiality protocols, sealing/redaction, and trauma-sensitive discovery management).
Collaborative with law enforcement, therapists, and forensic experts where appropriate, while maintaining the survivor’s autonomy in the civil process.
Institutional Accountability: Claims against entities that failed to prevent, reported inadequately, or concealed abuse.
Survivor Protection: Rigorous confidentiality practices; strategic use of pseudonyms and protective orders; careful, trauma-informed litigation pacing.
Jurisdiction & Timelines: Navigation of statute-of-limitations issues, revival “window” statutes, and cross-jurisdictional coordination.
Damages & Redress: Life-care planning, vocational loss analysis, and non-economic harm substantiation to reflect the full impact of abuse.
Resolution Strategy: Trial-ready posture coupled with thoughtful settlement evaluation to secure meaningful, enforceable outcomes.
Max regularly handles complex civil matters at The Weitz Firm, LLC with exposure to patient-safety and high-stakes litigation, and previously practiced at DLA Piper and Volpe & Koenig. His federal clerkship provides a strong foundation in motion practice, evidentiary issues, and courtroom procedure—skills he now applies to survivor cases.
