"They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this."
Steven Raiser's law firm handled my case with excellence throughout the process. I had a SBA EIDL loan that got transferred to the Department of Treasury unexpectedly, and had a 30% penalty added to the amount due, and due very quickly, which was very stressful. After talking with Steven Raiser, and working with Harry Gill, who was absolutely brilliant in working with me and preparing the case, they were able to recall the case to the SBA. They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this.
Very grateful and appreciative to Steven Raiser and Harry Gill. Great work- Harry -
They treated me wonderfully and helped me out of a bind. I feel that this firm really cares.- Michelle A.
Civil VS. Criminal Court
Civil sexual assault: This involves a person suing the perpetrator to get compensated for the injuries they sustained. In case you are suing or you are being sued for injuries sustained after sexual abuse make sure you have a personal injury attorney in your corner.
Criminal sexual assault: In this case, the district attorney’s office prosecutes a person for crimes of sexual abuse. Therefore, if you are being charged for crimes committed, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney.
Most victims of sexual assault experience difficulties when they are trying to recover their losses. This is because most sex offenders do not have sufficient funds, assets or insurance to cover for the injuries they cause. However, there are exemptions, for example, if there was a person who had the responsibility of reporting the incidence but failed to do so or if the sex offender was a member of a recognized organization. In case you win in the sex abuse case and those involved have the ability to pay, you can be able to cater for all the damages including;
- Loss of the capacity to earn a living
- Treatment expenses
- Suffering and pain that you experienced.
