What Our Maryland Sexual Abuse Attorneys Will Do for You
Coming forward about sexual abuse is an incredibly brave step. You shouldn’t need to also manage all aspects of a claim after showing such immense courage. When you work with us, we handle everything your case needs, including:
- Listen to your story: We will ensure you have a safe space to share what happened to you. You can be sure we’ll be listening to every word and focused entirely on you.
- Document your damages: We will investigate your situation to determine what damages we can recover on your behalf.
- Manage every aspect of your case: We will gather evidence, determine all liable parties, and handle communication with all parties involved. We want to do everything in our power to ensure you don’t have to speak with or go near your abuser or anyone who allowed your abuse to occur.
- Negotiate for a settlement: We will negotiate for a settlement if that is what you want to do.
- Fight for a case in court: We can hold your abuser accountable in court if that’s what is best for you.
We can help you if you suffered sexual abuse by your therapist, clergy member, or other religious authority.
You’ll Pay Nothing Upfront for Our Help
We want you focused on your recovery and trying to move forward in whatever way you can. We don’t want you worried about how you’ll afford our legal help. That is why we handle all sexual abuse cases in Maryland on a contingency fee basis. You don’t pay us a cent to get started—no retainers or hourly fees—and only pay us if and when we recover compensation for your case.
If we obtain compensation for you, we take our fee from what we recover for you. Before you sign on with us, we’ll discuss our fee structure with you so you’re never surprised.

Our Team Includes Several Trauma-Informed Legal Professionals
We know that sexual abuse is an immensely traumatic experience. We also know that trauma can affect the way you react in certain situations, your memory, and who you feel you can trust.
To ensure you feel as safe as possible with our team, two of our paralegals and one of our attorneys have undergone specialized training with Baltimore’s Center for Hope to become “trauma-informed” legal professionals. We learned more about trauma responses, body language, and the best ways to ensure you process and remember the information we give you.
When we meet with you to hear your story, we:
- Stay very aware of our wording, tone, and body language: We know how important it is for you to be believed. We don’t want anything we say or do to make you feel we are doubting your story. We also want to avoid doing or saying anything that will retraumatize you. Our team will do everything to ensure you feel safe and secure in our presence.
- Determine the best ways to provide you with the information you need: Trauma affects memory and processing. We consider the best ways to give you the necessary information in a way that allows you to remember it.
- Will watch to determine your trauma response: People react to trauma differently. One person may cry uncontrollably and scream, while another may remain calm and collected. By determining your trauma response, we can determine whether you might need a break from telling your story. It also helps if you are deposed or need to testify. The defense may claim that you are not responding “appropriately.” We can argue that you are displaying a perfectly normal trauma response and protect you from any accusations.
Is There a Limited Time to Take Action for Sexual Abuse in Maryland?
In 2023, the Maryland General Assembly passed the Child Victims of Act, eliminating the statute of limitations for child sex abuse lawsuits. This means that if you suffered sexual abuse when you were a child, a Maryland child sexual abuse lawyer can take action on your behalf, even if it’s been decades since the abuse occurred.
If your therapist abused you as an adult, your Maryland therapist sexual abuse lawyer can establish how much time you have to fight.
