Sexual Abuse Litigation

Few areas of the law are more sensitive than claims of sexual abuse and assault. Past clients include a broad range of organizations and professionals, including:

• individuals
• schools
• school districts
• religious organizations
• group facilities
• social workers

We work with key staff to ensure we craft a well-prepared, professional defense. As in all matters, our team vigorously defends our clients against charges of abuse or assault. However, we operate discreetly and with sensitivity toward claimants, in order to avoid unwanted media or public attention. NZA attorneys often get involved prior to suit to investigate allegations and ensure proper and adequate preservation of evidence. Thanks to the past experience of our partners as criminal prosecutors, we are well-advised on the criminal aspects of the cases and how they might impact the civil suit.

Discretion prevents us from listing some of our key work and accomplishments. However, we are proud that some of the most prominent Chicago metropolitan area institutions have trusted us to investigate and to defend against these complicated, sensitive exposures.
