Sex assault can happen almost anywhere, and our Dallas law firm is committed to representing victims against the sexual assault defense team.
Unfortunately, alleged sexual assault in the Catholic Church has been on the rise over the last few years. Victims have started to speak out against their offender, after being silenced for too long. Alleged clergy abuse or sex assault by a priest has been covered up by the church using the authority high-ranking officials have. If you have suffered from clergy abuse, do not be afraid to step forward. We believe you and want your voice to be heard.
Doctors' offices, hospitals, and medical facilities are all seen as safe places we can focus on healing after an injury or illness. Unfortunately, in a compromised state, medical professionals and staff at medical facilities can take advantage of our trust. If you believe you are a victim of an assault by a doctor, call us today.
We place our children in daycare to learn and grow. Over the past few years, reports of alleged abuse at daycare have risen. Children are vulnerable individuals and may not know how to speak out about the abuse, or may not have verbal communication skills. Do not wait to contact the authorities and an experienced attorney for legal advice on your next steps.
Our attorneys represent all types of sexual assault cases, aiming to bring justice to the victim and hold the alleged offender accountable. Here are some other types of offenses we represent:
If you believe you have been sexually abused, contact our local Dallas sexual assault attorneys to learn more about your legal options. By stepping forward, you can help protect future victims and help others find their voices against their offender.

In Texas, there is the possibility of third-party liability. If a business, medical facility, or other organization has failed to keep you safe and prevent the sex crime from happening, they could be found liable. Additionally, if businesses fail to provide proper security or background checks, they could be found liable for the sexual assault.
Our lawyers will investigate your case and the circumstances to help determine who may be responsible, in addition to the offender.
In Texas, there is a wide variety of sex crimes. Our attorneys take on the criminal defense lawyer in all types of sexual assault cases. These crimes may include:
Like other states, Texas has a statute of limitations for sex crimes. The statute of limitations defines the length of time you can file a legal action. This varies by state, age of the victim, civil and criminal lawsuits.
For a criminal lawsuit when a victim is 18 or older, there is a 10-year statute from the day the offense took place. In a civil lawsuit, the statute is 5 years after the incident for those 18 or older.
If the victim was a child, Texas law has a longer statute and the victim's age and type of offense are factored in. For certain sex crimes, there is no statute of limitations while for others it ranges from 10-20 years after the victim's 18th birthday. To know the specifics of your case, contact our team today for a free consultation.
Our attorneys realize that hiring a lawyer and pursuing a lawsuit for the sexual assault you experienced does not heal the pain you suffered. Instead, filing a civil lawsuit aims to help alleviate the financial burden of your healing process. This aims to cover medical expenses, therapy sessions, and loss of quality of life.
We believe in building an attorney-client relationship where you can trust us with your representation.
There are different options available to victims, a civil or criminal lawsuit. In a civil lawsuit, our lawyers aim to secure you compensation. In a criminal lawsuit, the focus is on charging the perpetrator with a crime which can result in jail time, fines, and being registered as a sex offender. In either type of case, our team goes up against the perpetrator and criminal defense attorney.
As a victim of sexual assault, you have many resources available to you, in addition to contacting an experienced attorney.
Our attorneys represent clients in Dallas County and across the state of Texas including:
If you have been a victim of aggravated sexual assault, do not hesitate to contact an experienced attorney today. You have been a victim of a sex crime and you deserve to be heard.
