Typical Cases We Handle

Our Confidentiality and Privacy Promise

No two sexual assault cases are exactly alike, and we have a wealth of experience handling wide-ranging cases, including those that involve:

  • Minor Victims – When the sexual assault victim is a minor, the sexual perpetrator is often a person in a position of authority and trust over them, which leaves the minor that much more vulnerable and makes the case that much more emotionally charged.
  • Sexual Harassment is most common in the workplace and at institutions of learning, and it’s closely associated with unwanted sexual advances that lead to a hostile work environment.
  • Sexual Abuse in Institutions – The power dynamic in certain institutions, which include businesses, schools, and religious organizations, too often sets the stage for exploitation and abuse. 

Regardless of the kind of sexual abuse you’ve experienced, you need a skilled legal representative who is sensitive to your difficult situation and has the legal savvy to help.

Consult with a compassionate California sex abuse lawyer at Feher Law today. 

At Feher Law, we take every client’s privacy very seriously. No effort is spared when it comes to providing a survivor of sexual abuse with a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment that allows them to open up without fear of painful exposure or judgment. 

In our focused efforts to protect every client’s privacy, we ensure that each of the following applies to every case we handle:

  • Careful adhering to strict confidentiality protocols at every step in the legal process
  • Maintaining secure channels of communication for every interaction with every client
  • Limiting access to confidential documents to only those members of our team who need to know in the interest of building strong claims
  • Guarding against unauthorized disclosure by keeping state-of-the-art data protection measures firmly in place 

When you work with us, you can rest assured that your privacy is well protected and that we won’t share any of your confidential information without your explicit consent.

Understand Your Legal Rights

As a sexual abuse survivor, you have several primary rights that it’s important to understand and protect, including:

  • Right to confidentiality and privacy, regardless of the other rights you invoke. 
  • Right to report, which means you can report the abuse you’ve suffered to the authorities.
  • Right to pursue criminal charges against your abuser if California law recognizes the act in question as illegal.
  • Right to seek civil remedies through a personal injury claim – in the form of compensation for your related medical expenses, lost earnings, and pain and suffering.
  • Right to support services, such as counseling, therapy, and support groups.

If you’re a sexual abuse survivor but are not sure you’re ready to report the sexual assault, the experienced California sexual abuse lawyers at Feher Law are standing by to help you make the right decisions for you.

Damages You Can Seek

There are three basic categories of compensation you can pursue in a sexual assault claim, including:

  • Economic damages, which include anything you attach a cost directly to, such as any property damage, your medical bills, and your diminished income due to hours lost on the job
  • Non-economic damages, which refer to the emotional effects of sexual assault, such as your physical and psychological pain and suffering 
  • Punitive damages are designed to be a deterrent and punishment for the perpetrator rather than a form of compensation for your losses  

A critical element of your claim is carefully outlining every category of loss you experience, and for that having dedicated legal representation is always advised.

Immediate Actions to Take After the Incident

If you’ve suffered sexual assault or abuse, there are certain steps you should take as soon as you’re able to do so:

  • Ensure Your Own Safety – Abusers are often repeat offenders, which makes ensuring your own safety a primary concern. Heading directly to the ER or police department is an excellent strategy.
  • Seek Medical Attention – Even if you don’t think you were injured and aren’t sure you’ll be reporting, seeking prompt medical attention is advised. Failing to collect evidence now can lead to fewer options later on, and getting the treatment you need can greatly improve your health outcome.
  • Seek Legal Guidance – A sexual abuse lawyer can help you chart the right course forward for you, whatever that means in your unique case. They’ll also help you make the right decisions for you, including those related to reporting and filing a claim.
  • Seriously Consider Reporting the Abuse – Reporting a sexual assault is difficult, but we encourage you to do so, whether that means to the police or child protective services. By reporting, you not only bolster your case and your recovery but you could also protect someone else from abuse.


Our Approach to Helping You

If you choose to discuss the matter of your unwanted sexual contact with us, you’ve come to the right place, and you can expect to proceed through the following steps:

  • The Initial Meeting – At our initial meeting with you, you’ll be introduced to your seasoned sexual abuse lawyer, and they will assess the strength of your sexual abuse case and provide you with the clear guidance you’re looking for. 
  • The Investigative Process – During the investigative process, your California sex abuse attorney will dive into the investigative process – along with evidence gathering – in their focused efforts to build your strongest sexual abuse claim. 
  • The Claim – If you decide that filing an abuse claim is the right path forward for you, we’ll file a well-constructed formal complaint or lawsuit on your behalf, which will trigger the legal process.
  • Discovery – At this point, discovery commences, which is when both sides exchange relevant evidence and information, including witness depositions and written interrogatories.
  • Trial – If you don’t reach a settlement, your case will proceed to trial, and it’s here that your accomplished attorney will present their strategically compiled evidence to the court.

Key Evidence for Your Claim

The success of your sexual abuse claim in California will hinge on the available evidence, which reinforces how important seeking immediate medical treatment is. When it comes to sexual battery and abuse cases, most of the evidence falls into categories like the following:

  • Medical documentation, which can run the gamut from medical reports to pictures of your injuries and the results of forensic exams
  • Statements made by eyewitnesses or by those who have first-hand knowledge of relevant information
  • Your own testimony as the victim, which is the heart of your case and will delineate exactly how the assault happened – step by step – and must be both accurate and comprehensive
  • The testimony of professionals with relevant expertise, such as doctors, specialists, and forensic psychologists 
  • Physical evidence, such as clothing or sheets for which careful preservation is essential
  • Electronic evidence, which can be expansive in our digital age
  • Evidence documenting your emotional distress, which is often best captured through your journals, your own testimony, and the testimony of those who know you well

Filing Deadline — Statute of Limitations

Every state has a statute of limitations for sexual abuse cases, which translates to a deadline for sex abuse victims to file lawsuits against their abusers. A new California law breaks this time limit down into two options for those who were already 18 at the time the sex crime in question occurred, including:

  • Ten years from the date of the sexual crime
  • Three years from the date you first recognized that the injuries you sustained were the direct effect of the sexual assault

How Fees Work

If you’ve experienced sexual abuse, you may have concerns about exploring the matter with an attorney, and the cost may represent only a portion of this. You should know, however, that a sexual abuse attorney can help you face your fears safely, protect your legal rights, and obtain the compensation you deserve. 

Further, our attorneys work on what is called a contingency because our payment is contingent upon – or based upon – your case outcome. This means that you won’t owe a thing until your claim is successfully settled or when you receive a court award.
