Our experienced attorneys understand the sensitivity and complexity of these cases. We are committed to protecting your dignity and pursuing the maximum compensation possible for your pain and suffering.

What is Sexual Assault?

Sexual assault includes any non-consensual sexual contact or behavior forced upon a person. This can range from unwanted touching or harassment to rape or attempted rape. Sexual assault is a crime that violates a person’s bodily autonomy and personal safety.
Victims have legal rights to seek justice through both criminal prosecution and civil claims against perpetrators or negligent parties, such as employers or institutions that failed to prevent the assault. Novo Law works closely with survivors to provide personalized legal guidance tailored to their unique situation.
