Los Angeles Unified alone has authorized up to $500 million to settle school abuse claims.
California survivors can hold school districts accountable for abuse that happened years — or even decades — ago.
Fill out the contact form on this page.
Once you submit the form you will be taken to a short qualification questionnaire.
You have a claim if you or a family member experienced sexual abuse or misconduct by someone employed by a California school — public or private. That includes:
Students across California were sexually abused by teachers, coaches, and staff.
In many cases, the school knew. Complaints were dismissed, or the employee was quietly moved to another campus instead of being stopped.
Under AB 218, schools can now be held legally responsible for the abuse students suffered.
We make bringing a claim simple, private, and straight forward.
It costs nothing to sign up and takes 3 to 5 minutes.
We have represented survivors of sexual abuse for decades.
In that time we've represented hundreds of survivors and helped them recover hundreds of millions of dollars from the institutions that failed them — including some of the largest abuse settlements in the country. Individual results have ranged from $675,000 to $9.8 million. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Decades of this work means we've faced nearly every version of it — school districts, religious organizations, youth programs, foster care agencies. We know how these institutions respond when they're confronted, how they protect themselves, and what it takes to hold them accountable anyway.
You'll never pay anything out of pocket. We work on contingency, so we're only paid if we recover compensation for you — and if at any point you decide you don't want to pursue a claim, you can stop. That decision is yours from the first conversation to the last.
