Civil Litigation Attorneys

The civil litigation attorneys at ADZ Law, LLP focus primarily and uniquely on representing victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and related matters in civil and personal injury cases. Our goal is to get accountability and obtain maximum financial recovery from perpetrators of abuse and others who are legally responsible for the harm suffered by the victim.

Our civil litigation attorneys have the experience, skill, and determination to pursue legal remedies fearlessly on the client’s behalf. We also have the calm temperament essential to resolving disputes through peaceful negotiation when possible.

As trauma-informed advocates, we understand how the effects of abuse can reach all parts of a survivor’s life. To that end, we strive to prioritize our clients’ critical financial, family, and emotional needs and resolve cases efficiently. We educate, inform, and support clients throughout the case. Our approach encourages client autonomy and agency. We thoroughly explain options and potential outcomes to the client, so they can choose their own path and make a fully informed decision about how to proceed.

Domestic Violence

ADZ Law civil litigation attorneys take a holistic approach to representing survivors of domestic violence. California law provides several avenues to prosecute domestic violence and redress safety concerns of survivors. Whether it be through criminal prosecution, family law litigation, restraining orders, or civil lawsuits, we understand how these areas intersect and provide our clients with the knowledge they need to make the best decisions for themselves and their families.

Sexual Assault

Victims of sexual assault and common sex crimes have criminal and civil options to help get accountability for the harm suffered. California law provides civil liability for sexual assault perpetrators and third party business or public entities (such as schools and employers) that facilitate sexual assault. These civil actions allow survivors to seek compensation for medical expenses, mental health treatments, and pain and suffering. While no amount of money can fully restore what has been lost, financial compensation can significantly aid in the recovery process and help survivors regain control of their lives. Our civil litigation attorneys at ADZ Law, LLP help clients explore all civil avenues to secure the compensation they are entitled to and deserve.

Workplace Sexual Harassment

In addition to handling sexual assault cases, our civil litigation attorneys at ADZ Law are dedicated to fighting for victims of sexual harassment. Despite the progress made by the #MeToo movement in exposing the widespread issue of sexual harassment, it remains a prevalent problem in many workplaces. We empower victims to stand up against their harassers and demand the respect and dignity they deserve. Our team works tirelessly to hold perpetrators and negligent employers accountable, seeking justice and financial compensation for the harm suffered. By providing comprehensive legal support and representation, we help victims of sexual harassment reclaim their rights and rebuild their lives.

Title IX Representation

Our civil litigation attorneys at ADZ Law are also experienced in representing survivors in Title IX actions against schools and higher learning institutions. We educate clients on the Title IX process, their rights, and their legal options, ensuring they are fully informed at every step. By advocating for our clients throughout the Title IX process and investigation, we help them navigate the complexities of the system with confidence. Our dedicated representation ensures that survivors feel empowered and supported, knowing they have someone in their corner who is committed to protecting their interests and seeking justice on their behalf.

Victims of Crime

Our civil litigation attorneys help victims of crime seek accountability from perpetrators and culpable third parties through civil lawsuits and other civil proceedings. Our case strategy focuses on keeping our clients and their needs at the center of our litigation.

We also focus on advocacy in criminal proceedings against perpetrators charged with crimes. We work with law enforcement, the district attorney, and the court on behalf of the victim witness to ensure that all available evidence is available and provided to the court.
