Frequently asked questions
Can I file a civil claim even without a criminal case?
Yes. A civil claim is separate from any criminal prosecution and has a lower burden of proof. You can pursue civil damages against a perpetrator or a negligent institution whether or not criminal charges were filed or resulted in a conviction.
Will my case be kept confidential?
Phillip handles these matters with the utmost discretion and sensitivity. As a solo attorney, he communicates with you directly. There are no intermediaries passing your private information around an office.
Who can be held liable besides the perpetrator?
Institutions such as schools, employers, property owners, or organizations may be liable when their negligence (for example, inadequate screening, supervision, or security) created the opportunity for abuse.
