Sexual Assault matters we handle for Villanova 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. Villanova is best known for the university that shares its name, and campus-adjacent traffic on Lancaster Avenue, students and visitors on foot near the SEPTA Regional Rail station, and event-weekend congestion all shape the kind of auto and pedestrian matters that come out of this stretch of the Main Line. It's a different traffic pattern than the commuter-heavy corridors further out, concentrated, seasonal, and often involving pedestrians rather than just vehicle-on-vehicle collisions.
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 Villanova 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.
