CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE LAWYERS LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NY
Our Child Sexual Assault Legal Team
Our Phillips & Paolicelli, LLP Childhood Sexual Assault Legal Team has a deep commitment to justice and compensation for adult survivors of childhood sexual assault. In addition to our well-known, deep bench of skilled attorneys in New York and New Jersey we also collaborate with experienced sex assault attorneys across the country.
New state laws—among them the New York State Child Victims Act and the New Jersey State Child Sexual Abuse Act—are allowing adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse to seek justice and compensation. In New York and New Jersey victims may have an opportunity to file a lawsuit even if their abuse occurred decades ago, or even if a prior claim was filed but dismissed as time-barred.
Since the passage of the New York State Child Victims Act, and the amendment of the New Jersey Child Sexual Abuse Act alone, our Child Sex Abuse lawyers have obtained nearly fifty million dollars in settlement for victims of child sex abuse. Some of our notable recent Child Sexual Abuse results can be found here. Phillips & Paolicelli has also been at the forefront of charting the new legal landscape for Child Sexual Abuse Cases. Our Firm has successfully litigated, and won, numerous appeals in New York, including:
PB-36 Doe v. Niagara Falls City School District (holding the CVA is constitutional)
Meyer v. State of New York (holding that claimant’s claim was sufficiently specific)
Fenton v. State of New York (holding that claimant’s claim was sufficiently specific)
MCVAWCD Doe v. Columbus Avenue Elementary School (adopting constructive notice standard of liability against school)
