ASSAULT AND ABUSE

Assault or abuse can be a very traumatic and life changing experience.  As a result, the consequences for you can be damaging for many years.

Allegations will sometimes be ” brushed under the rug” or denied that they ever happened. Many times victims will stay silent out of fear and not come forward to get help they need.  Do not be intimidated by the person(s) who have committed harm against you. We advise you take serious action immediately. Make sure you have all the evidence you need to properly document and support your case. 

VICTIMS OF ASSAULT OR ABUSE:
  • Physical harm;
  • Sexual abuse;
  • Psychological or emotional manipulation;
  • Taking advantage of children, the elderly, disabled people or handicapped people.
