Private, Confidential and Free Consultation with a Proven Compassionate Civil Attorney
While sensational cases of sexual assault abuse and rape such as Harvey Weinstein, USC Dr. George Tyndall and Grant Robicheaux have recently made headlines, countless other adult and child survivors of these crimes and their families are forced to endure the experience in private.
While California’s criminal law provides punishment for these crimes, our civil code provides the opportunity to seek justice and hold these perpetrators accountable for what they’ve done. A civil sexual assault abuse and rape case can provide the financial resources for victims of these crimes to seek the support, counseling and treatment they will need throughout their life.
Rivers Morrell has more than 40 years of experience in these civil personal injury cases. Our work in these cases is similar to our work with victims who have suffered STD transmission. We provide compassionate, experienced and skilled legal representation for those who have suffered these crimes at the hands of people who are in positions of power, trust or responsibility.
It is not possible to undo the actions of sexual assault abuse and rape but the Law Firm of Rivers J. Morrell III helps to restore our client’s sense of well-being, strength and hope. Our work together will help you to move forward, to heal. We invite you to review the strong recommendations of our clients and the legal industry and contact us or call today to speak with Rivers personally for a free, private, confidential consultation at (949) 305-1400.
