Sexual Abuse

Massachusetts Attorneys Handling Sexual Abuse Claims

Few things in life are more traumatic than falling victim to sexual abuse. Those subjected to sexual abuse or assault at the hands of teachers, priests, psychiatrists, coaches or family members are left emotionally scarred and traumatized for life.

At the Law Offices of Aiken & Aiken, P.C., our attorneys understand how difficult it is for victims of sexual abuse to come forward and share their story. Sexual abuse can impact someone's development, ability to form trusting relationships and in some cases, even lead to thoughts of suicide. We find this intolerable and aggressively pursue abusers, refusing to let them slip into the shadows without paying for what they have done to you or your loved one.

To arrange a free, no-obligation consultation with a compassionate Boston area attorney, contact us at 866-766-1403. We work with psychologists, investigators and economic impact analysts in determining your pain and suffering and loss in quality of life due to your abuse.

Breaking the Silence: Taking the First Step

The statute of limitations on sexual abuse cases is 3 years in cases involving adults. However, in cases involving the abuse of minors including child rape or molestation, the statute of limitations is extended until they reach 21. In cases involving repressed memories, the statute of limitations can be extended.

As your team of lawyers, we coordinate our activities with law enforcement, file for restraining orders if necessary and undertake all investigative work required to uncover the facts of your case and protect your legal rights.

Challenging the Defense

We realize sexual abuse cases can be very painful for the victim - especially when the other side tries to claim our client is suffering from false memory syndrome. We have represented a number of clients in these kinds of cases and work with nationally recognized medical experts who undermine the claims of the defense.

We understand the psychological, medical and legal issues involved in a sexual abuse claim. We know how to build strong, convincing cases designed to secure compensation for our clients. For more information regarding our practice and how we can help you, contact Aiken & Aiken.
