San Francisco Child Abuse and Molestation Victims Lawyers

At our law offices of Abramson Smith Waldsmith LLP, serving San Francisco and California for more than 30 years, we work for justice for the vulnerable in cases of sexual abuse against children, adults and the disabled.

Traumatic, life-changing sexual abuse initiated by an individual, parent, trusted school authority figure or institutional representative is an appalling reality for far too many children and adolescents in our state and across the country. Predators and molesters in the roles of priests, ministers, church officials and workers, coaches, teachers and teacher's aids, janitors, day care workers, park rangers, and other professions ruin lives and cause irreparable psychological damage every day.

Over 300 California educators had their teaching licenses revoked or suspended for sex offenses from 2001 through 2005

If you suspect that your child, or adolescent or disabled relative has been the victim of sexual abuse or molestation, contact our law offices immediately.

Experience, Reputation, Results

Our skillful, caring trial attorneys at Abramson Smith Waldsmith LLP are committed to extending quality legal representation to families of abuse victims who have been harmed in any of the following tragic situations:

• Child victim of abuse
• Long term effects of childhood abuse
• Adult victim of abuse
• Victim of authority figure
• Institutional abuse
• Abuse by clergy
• Abuse by teachers
• Disabled victim of abuse

No amount of monetary damages can make up for the lasting physical and psychic harm that child sexual abuse brings about, or the cases of wrongful death that extreme abuse can sometimes cause. However, damage awards can send powerful messages and provide necessary financial incentives for schools, churches and other organizations to screen and monitor their employees who regularly interact with children and teenagers, or report neglect whenever it occurs. Adequate financial compensation can also defray the cost of long-term psychotherapy and psychiatric care.

We devote our personal attention to every case that we accept, in the continuing belief that effective representation in child sex abuse and molestation cases requires not only exceptional legal skill, but also the ability to empathetically respond to psychologically damaged children and outraged parents. If you or a loved one has been sexually abused by a person in authority, please contact our law office today.
