Melbourne Sexual Abuse Attorney

Institutional sexual abuse cases are complicated and unique. We work to discover the extent of the sexual abuse in the institution where it occurred. We bring a civil suit against the institution to ensure that you are able to receive sufficient compensation to enable you to move on with your life.

Your Melbourne, 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.
