Sexual abuse causes a unique kind of trauma. The civil justice system in California allows victims of sexual abuse to seek justice for their damages. A San Jose sexual abuse lawyer from Greenberg Gross will work to hold liable parties accountable for your mistreatment.
These cases are extremely sensitive. Our firm handles sexual abuse cases regularly, so we know how to lead your case appropriately. We’ll lead the legal process for you.
What You Should Look for in a San Jose Sexual Abuse Lawyer
Sexual abuse cases are unlike any other. These cases involve heinous acts, and victims often have trauma that lasts for a lifetime. It is important that your lawyer:
- Has previous experience with sexual abuse cases: Relevant experience is always a benefit in civil legal cases. Greenberg Gross counts sexual abuse cases among our primary practice areas. We know how defendants might fight against a claim, what losses victims like you suffer, and generally what to expect from a case like yours.
- Has abundant compassion for your circumstances: It’s not always easy for a sexual abuse victim to acknowledge their abuse, let alone take legal action. Once you take the step towards seeking justice, you deserve a law firm that handles your case with the utmost compassion. Greenberg Gross will.
- Has a record of successful case results: Our firm has won recoveries for many clients. We can tell you about relevant case results during your free consultation.
- Will do what is in your best interests every time: Our firm puts your interests above all else. You will have the final word in settlement offers and other case-related decisions.
You should also consider a law firm’s fee structure. At Greenberg Gross, our attorneys only get an attorney’s fee if they get a financial recovery for you. That means you pay nothing out of pocket, and we get a percentage of your recovery—but we must secure that recovery first.

The ripple effects of sexual abuse can spread throughout a victim’s life. While we make no assumptions about your case, we know that losses from your abuse could include:
- Emotional and psychological pain: Sexual abuse is one of the greatest violations of trust and may be a great source of pain for the victim. You may develop depression, self-image problems, suicidal thoughts, and other types of pain and suffering because of your abuse.
- Physical injuries: Sexual abuse can also harm you physically. Such injuries may cause a variety of issues, especially if the symptoms of injury are permanent.
- Financial hardship: Abuse can lead to medical bills, counseling and medication costs, and other direct expenses. The psychological effects of abuse may make it difficult to work, causing even more financial stress.
- Personal difficulties: It may be more difficult for a victim of sexual abuse to maintain a romantic relationship, either because of trust issues or other reasons. You may also have a high risk of substance abuse or other destructive behaviors.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) explains that these are all realistic outcomes for an abuse victim, in San Jose or elsewhere. Our team will identify every way in which your abuse has affected you.
