What Are Florida’s No-Fault Insurance Laws?
Your Florida sexual abuse attorney’s goal is to hold the institution accountable so that the sexual abuse does not happen again, and to get you the compensation you deserve so that you can move on with your life and the result of the abuse.
What Is Institutional Sexual Abuse?
There are certain positions in society that automatically grant power over other people. Teachers, medical professionals, clergy, and correctional staff are just a few examples. Sometimes, the people in these positions abuse their power to commit sexual abuse.
Andrew Pickett Law focuses on these kinds of sexual abuse cases. We believe that people who abuse their power must be removed from their offices, and we also believe that victims should receive as much compensation from the institutions that enabled the abuse as legally allowed.
We will fight tirelessly on your behalf to seek justice against these terrible crimes, many of which are done against victims who are unable to fight back for fear of retribution or punishment.
We Cannot Stand for Sexual Abuse or Sexual Assault & Battery
We treat every institutional sexual abuse case as if it’s going to trial and hire sex crimes investigators to ensure that no avenue of investigation is ignored. stone is left unturned in the event we bring the case to trial. During these trying times, you don’t need to be bullied by companies and individuals in power who would benefit from your silence.
Our sexual abuse lawyers in Florida do the work for you and ensure that justice is served, the entities at fault are held accountable, and set an example that aims to deter any type of institutional sexual abuse from occurring in the future. We aim to prosecute to the fullest extent of punishments as outlined in Fla. Stat. § 794.011.

A Sex Crime Doesn’t Have to Be a Felony to Matter
Sexual abuse is sexual abuse. It doesn’t have to be a major felony to “matter.” If you have been abused sexually, you can and should pursue justice in court. You also do not need to wait for your assailant’s criminal trial to finish to start a lawsuit of your own.
Sexual abuse and battery can leave mental health effects and emotional scars long after any physical damage is healed. You may need expensive therapy and counseling to get past the experience, and you deserve to have the compensation to pay for these services.
What You Can Expect From Your First Attorney Meeting
We understand that meeting with a personal injury attorney about these serious matters can be scary. Know that we will treat your case with the respect, compassion, and seriousness it deserves. You can help us begin the process by bringing certain pieces of evidence with you, such as:
- Umbrella/excess liability insurance policies
- Health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid ID cards
- Medical records, psychological treatment records, and medical bills
- Witness contact information
- Testimonials from others, such as physicians, spouses, and employers, that can describe how the incident has affected you.
- Any letters, emails, or other documents received from insurance companies or other parties involved
- Anything else you feel is relevant to your sex abuse case
We understand it may be difficult to gather all this documentation. It is not a requirement to see our team for a consultation, but it will help us evaluate your case and give a better estimate of your chances at trial.

I had an auto accident back in September, and went to Andrew Pickette Law to get a case going for my medical expenses I was having to deal with. I was working closely with Vonda and Tiffany Whitehouse through the last several months. We’ve finally come to the conclusion of my case and I am so thrilled with the outcome. These ladies have been here for every question and concern that I’ve had during this process. This is an exceptional law office and would recommend anyone seek out their services. You’re getting someone that is from our area, knows Florida laws, and truly gets to know their clients.

So far, Pickett law, and Ashley in particular have been amazing. They work so quick and are very responsive. I was in an accident Friday and called Friday evening after business hours and they contacted me first thing Monday morning to let me know they were working on my case. I feel safe having this firm in my corner.

Andrew Pickett is an exceptional attorney and an even more incredible advocate for his clients! I had the pleasure of hosting him on The Care Sandwich Podcast, where he shared his journey and passion for helping those who’ve been wronged.
Andrew’s compassion and expertise truly set him apart, he’s not just a lawyer, he’s someone who genuinely cares about making a difference. If you’re in need of a personal injury attorney who will fight for you every step of the way, Andrew is the one to call. Highly recommend!

I have had nothing but a pleasant experience with Ashley as my first time dealing with an attorney and their staff. She helped make sense out of a lot of unknowns and questions I had. She is a joy to speak to and quick to respond to you, either after a phone call or text. I hope my whole experience with this group will be as comfortable as it was speaking with Ashley. I’m sure it will be.

For almost 2 yrs Mr. Pickett and his team worked endlessly on my case. They showed tremendous dedication and drive. Lindsey was always staying in contact and always reassuring me that they got this so don’t worry. Today I get a call stating we WON, all I can say is thank God that Andrew and Lindsey took my case because without them I don’t know what would have happened. God bless them both I love you guys.
