Whether through civil litigation, family law remedies, or tort cases, we are committed to helping our clients achieve the best outcomes while supporting them every step of the way.

Our success in domestic violence tort cases reflects our team’s skill, compassion, and unwavering dedication to advocating for survivors. Navigating the legal system after enduring abuse can feel overwhelming, but with ADZ Law by your side, you’re never alone. We believe in creating an environment where clients feel heard, informed, and empowered to make decisions about their futures.

What Is a Domestic Violence Tort Case?

Tort cases are a specific type of civil lawsuit that allows survivors of domestic violence to seek financial compensation for the harm they have suffered. Unlike criminal cases, which focus on punishing the offender, tort cases are about holding abusers accountable in civil court and providing survivors with the resources they need to rebuild their lives.

Damages in a domestic violence tort case may include:

  • Medical expenses for injuries caused by the abuse.
  • Compensation for lost wages or diminished earning capacity.
  • Emotional distress and psychological trauma.
  • Pain and suffering endured as a result of the abuse.

For many survivors, pursuing a tort case is about more than monetary recovery; it’s about reclaiming their voice, standing up against injustice, and ensuring their experiences are acknowledged.
At ADZ Law, we approach these cases with both the legal skill and the sensitivity needed to help survivors navigate this process.

Why Civil Litigation Matters for Survivors

Civil litigation is an important tool for survivors of domestic violence and other crimes. While the criminal justice system often focuses on public safety and holding offenders accountable, it doesn’t always address the individual needs of survivors. Civil litigation, on the other hand, allows survivors to take control of their cases and seek remedies that directly benefit them.

At ADZ Law, we recognize the power of civil litigation in helping survivors move forward. Whether it’s filing a domestic violence tort case or addressing related issues like financial abuse or property disputes, we have the experience and determination to stand up for our clients’ rights.

We understand that survivors of domestic violence are often navigating complex emotions and challenges, from physical and emotional recovery to concerns about their safety and future. Our approach is centered on creating a safe, supportive environment where clients can feel confident sharing their stories and exploring their legal options.

We take the time to listen to each client’s unique circumstances and goals, ensuring that every step we take aligns with their needs.

This complexity requires a skilled legal team with a comprehensive understanding of these intersections. At ADZ Law, we bring decades of combined experience to every case, allowing us to navigate even the most challenging legal issues with confidence and precision.

Our team is adept at handling the legal and emotional complexities of domestic violence cases. From gathering evidence and building a compelling case to advocating in court, we ensure that every detail is addressed with the care and attention it deserves.

Advocating for Survivors in the Community and Beyond

ADZ Law’s leadership in domestic violence tort law is widely recognized within the legal community. In 2024, the Berkeley Journal of Gender, Law & Justice featured an article by Andrew Bradt and former ADZ Law attorney, Mallika Kaur on the front page of their prestigious publication.

In the article, “A Surprising Ally: Harnessing the Power of Procedure in Domestic Violence Tort Cases,” Andrew Bradt and Mallika Kaur provided a detailed legislative overview of tort remedies available to survivors and emphasized the professional and moral responsibility of attorneys to inform clients about these options. This recognition highlights our firm’s dedication not only to our clients but also to advancing the broader conversation around justice for survivors.

Expanding Justice for Victims of Crimes

At ADZ Law, we believe that every survivor deserves justice, regardless of the circumstances. In addition to domestic violence tort cases, we also represent victims of crimes, including sexual assault and other forms of abuse. These cases require not only a deep understanding of the law but also a commitment to treating survivors with the respect, patience, and compassion they deserve.

Our team is skilled at navigating the unique challenges that arise in these cases, from addressing the emotional toll of recounting traumatic experiences to building strong legal arguments that reflect the full scope of harm caused. By focusing on the needs and goals of each client, we strive to provide representation that is both effective and empowering.

The Broader Impact of Domestic Violence Tort Cases

The impact of domestic violence tort cases extends beyond individual survivors. By holding abusers accountable through civil litigation, these cases send a powerful message about the importance of addressing domestic violence in our communities. They also help to create a legal framework that supports survivors and encourages accountability.

At ADZ Law, we are proud to be part of this larger effort. Our work in domestic violence tort cases is not just about achieving justice for our clients—it’s about contributing to a broader movement to end domestic violence and support survivors in building brighter futures.
