Sexual Assault matters we handle for South Jersey 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. New Jersey's claims procedures don't mirror Pennsylvania's, and treating a South Jersey case like a Philadelphia case is a mistake we don't make. New Jersey's auto insurance system includes a threshold choice between limited and unlimited right to sue that doesn't exist in Pennsylvania, its statute of limitations and notice requirements for claims against public entities run on different clocks, and its employment discrimination statute, the Law Against Discrimination, is broader in some respects than its Pennsylvania counterpart.
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 South Jersey 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.
