The Law Office of Aiken & Aiken

Massachusetts Sexual Abuse Claims Attorneys

Victims of sexual abuse or assault at the hands of teachers, priests, psychiatrists, coaches, or family members are left emotionally scarred and traumatized for life. The sexual abuse claims attorneys at Aiken & Aiken work with psychologists, investigators, and economic impact analysts in determining your pain and suffering and loss in quality of life due to your abuse. When questions of evidence or fact arise, we interview witnesses, consult criminal investigations, present medical evidence, and expose the actions of an abuser. We recognize how sexual abuse can impact someone’s development, ability to form trusting, loving relationships, and in some cases, even lead to thoughts of suicide. We aggressively pursue abusers and refuse to let them slip back into the shadows without paying for what they have done to our clients.

We have the legal knowledge and expert witness resources necessary to hold abusers financially responsible for their actions. To schedule a free consultation and discuss your case, contact a Massachusetts sexual abuse claims attorney at Aiken & Aiken.

Breaking the Silence: Taking the First Step

The statute of limitations on sexual abuse cases is 3 years in cases involving adults. However, in cases involving the abuse of minors (child rape or molestation), the statute of limitations is extended until they reach 21. In cases involving repressed memories, the statute of limitations can be extended. As your team of lawyers, we coordinate our activities with law enforcement, file for restraining orders if necessary, and undertake all investigative work required to uncover the facts of your case and protect your legal rights.

Challenging the Defense

We realize sexual abuse cases can be very painful for the victim – especially when the other side tries to claim our client is suffering from false memory syndrome. We’ve represented a number of clients in these kinds of cases and work with nationally recognized medical experts who undermine the claims of the defense. Our sexual abuse lawyers understand the psychological, medical, and legal issues involved and know how to build strong, convincing cases in demanding compensation for our clients.
