We Will Listen to Your Story And Explain Your Options
Many concerns may be going through your mind as you seek legal help for a sexual abuse case. You may wonder if you have grounds to take legal action or if your situation constitutes sexual assault. You may also be concerned about the consequences of taking legal action, among many other questions.
We want you to know that you can get all of these questions answered through a free and completely confidential phone call with our team. You don't have to hold back from seeking help due to concerns about your case—you can ask everything during a free case review. We will then explain your legal options in clear terms.
You can seek out our help when:
- You or a loved one was recently assaulted.
- You or a loved one is facing sexual harassment.
- You are not sure if your case constitutes sexual abuse but believe it may.
Adults and children may face sexual abuse, and both men and women may be survivors of sexual abuse. In all of these situations, you could get help, and you may be able to take action. The responsible party could be held accountable and you could seek compensation for your suffering.
What Are the Outcomes of a Sexual Abuse Lawsuit?
Sexual abuse is a horrific attack on a person's body and mind, a fact that no amount of money can ever erase or take away. However, compensation may help to ease the pain of the past and offer you needed compensation for your necessary treatments.
Your compensation could address the following:
- Expenses incurred for medical care
- Costs of rehabilitative care, such as counseling
- Loss of the enjoyment of life
- The challenges of your pain and suffering
- The hardships of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Career losses and missed paychecks
- Property damage
Every case is unique, and the circumstances listed above may vary from one individual to the next. Our sexual abuse lawyers at Dolman Law Group will identify any potential losses and damages you have suffered. This way, we will fight for you to receive the compensation that best suits your circumstances.

Will I Have to Go to Court?
Many victims may wonder if they have to appear in court for their case. We will explain your options and help guide you through a resolution of your case that feels comfortable for you.
In some situations, we can seek a resolution for your case without having to go to trial. In these cases, we negotiate an out-of-court settlement with the liable parties' representatives. In other situations, we may recommend that we take your case to trial to present your case before a jury. If we advise this route, we will discuss this with you and ensure that you are well prepared for the process.
How Much does it Cost to Hire a Lawyer?
Many people hold back from seeking legal help based on concerns about the cost of paying for a lawyer. However, our team works based on contingency, which means that you don't have to pay any upfront costs to get started on your case.
With contingency fees, we receive payment only after a successful resolution of your case. Our fees come as a portion of your final settlement or court award. We offer this fee structure to remove the financial pressure of bringing a legal case. We want you to be free to seek justice without worrying about legal fees upfront.

- Human trafficking
- Abusive partner relationships

Our sexual abuse lawyers can help you in other situations beyond those listed here.
