Community and Justice Organizations
Our team of sexual assault lawyers offers essential support to victims of abuse within volunteer and not-for-profit organizations, as well as community and social justice programs.
Whether you are a child, teenager, or adult, the complexities of these cases demand, not only specialized legal knowledge, but also a deep sense of compassion. We help you understand your rights, explore your legal options, and navigate the emotional challenges that come with sharing your story.
Holding Organizations Accountable
In cases involving organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Boy Scouts, or children’s camps, we work diligently to hold organizations accountable for the actions of their staff and volunteers. This includes:
Investigating abuse: Examining the circumstances of the abuse.
Identifying negligence: Identifying any negligence in hiring or training practices.
Ensuring support and compensation: Making sure you receive the support and compensation you deserve.
Our commitment goes beyond seeking justice for individuals; we also advocate for systemic changes that enhance safety protocols and help prevent future abuse.
Navigating Child Protection Laws
In cases involving children’s aid agencies or group homes, where abuse can arise from complex family dynamics or in institutional settings, we guide you through the intricacies of child protection laws. This may involve:
Filing complaints: Filing complaints against social service agencies that failed to protect children.
Pushing for accountability: Ensuring accountability in cases of abuse in foster or adoptive homes.
Advocacy in Prisons and Detention Centres
In environments like prisons or detention centres, we address the unique challenges faced by both adult and youth detainees. Our team advocates for their rights and pursues justice against abusive staff or fellow inmates. Through dedicated representation, we empower victims and work tirelessly to promote meaningful reforms within these institutions.
