Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about sexual abuse cases in Cocoa Beach

What do sexual abuse lawyers do?

Sexual abuse lawyers provide comprehensive legal representation for survivors seeking justice through civil courts. We investigate claims, gather evidence, identify liable parties (which may include not just perpetrators but also negligent institutions or businesses), and build strong cases for compensation.



Our role extends beyond legal representation - we act as advocates, connecting clients with support resources and ensuring their voices are heard while maintaining strict confidentiality. We handle all communication with insurance companies and opposing counsel, allowing survivors to focus on healing.

What is the statute of limitations for sexual abuse cases in Florida?

Florida law provides specific timeframes for filing sexual abuse claims, with different rules depending on when the abuse occurred and the victim's age at the time. Recent changes in Florida law have expanded the time limits for survivors to come forward.



Because these deadlines can be complex, it's important to consult with an experienced attorney as soon as possible to understand your rights and ensure your claim is filed within the appropriate timeframe.

How do you maintain confidentiality in sexual abuse cases?

We implement strict confidentiality protocols throughout every stage of your case. All communications are protected by attorney-client privilege, and we can take additional measures such as filing cases under pseudonyms when appropriate.



Our team is trained in trauma-informed practices and understands the importance of protecting your privacy while pursuing justice. We carefully control all case-related information and can work with the courts to seal sensitive records when possible.

How do you handle payment for sexual abuse cases?

We handle sexual abuse cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you don't pay any legal fees unless we win your case. This arrangement ensures that everyone has access to quality legal representation, regardless of their financial situation.



During your confidential consultation, we'll explain our fee structure clearly and answer any questions you have about the financial aspects of your case. Our goal is to remove any barriers that might prevent survivors from seeking the justice they deserve.
