Sexual Assault matters we handle for Chestnut Hill clients don’t look identical to a case filed anywhere else in the region, local courts, local insurance patterns, and local property conditions all shape how a matter is best prepared. Germantown Avenue's cobblestone sections through Chestnut Hill are part of what gives the neighborhood its character, and part of what generates its distinctive premises and real estate matters. Uneven historic stone, older commercial storefronts, and residential properties with decades of deed history each carry their own version of the same underlying issue: conditions and title records that predate modern building and recording standards, and that can turn into a hazard, a closing delay, or a boundary dispute if they aren't addressed properly.
If you were sexually assaulted or abused, what happened was not your fault, and you do not need to have all the answers before you talk to a lawyer. We represent survivors in civil claims against the person responsible and, where the facts support it, against an employer, school, religious institution, landlord, or other organization whose failure to act made the harm possible. A civil case is separate from the criminal process: it can go forward whether or not you reported to police and whether or not charges were ever filed.
For Chestnut Hill clients specifically, our sexual assault work most often covers: Sexual Assault Lawyers. Whichever of these brings you to us, the same firm-wide approach applies, two attorneys assigned to every case, a free and confidential initial case review, and preparation from day one as if the matter is going to trial.
