Residential Treatment Facilities (RTFs) are supposed to be places of healing and recovery. For many children and youth who enter them expecting help and support, the experience has been abusive and traumatic. If you suffered sexual abuse while at a RTF, you are not alone. 

A recent government study found that sexual abuse in these facilities, perpetrated by staff and/or fellow patients, occurs with disturbing frequency. RTFs routinely prioritize profits over patients, and troubled children and youth often pay the price. In addition to the perpetrators of these deplorable actions, we believe that the companies that own and manage these facilities should also be held accountable for the harm they have allowed to occur.  

In our time working with survivors of sexual abuse, we have learned how difficult it is to come forward and tell your story. Our compassionate and experienced sexual abuse attorneys will do everything in their power to hold sexual offenders and the institutions that employ them accountable for the harm they’ve inflicted. When you’re ready, we are available for a confidential, no-obligation conversation about possible legal action to obtain financial compensation.
