00:00:03.700 --> 00:00:08.517
We have handled
sexual abuse cases involving kids
2
00:00:09.014 --> 00:00:13.250
who have been caught
in the child protective services framework
3
00:00:13.529 --> 00:00:15.950
and have suffered sexual abuse.
4
00:00:16.330 --> 00:00:20.215
We've covered cases
where kids have been abused at school,
5
00:00:20.415 --> 00:00:24.057
and we've handled cases of adults
who have been sexually abused,
6
00:00:24.114 --> 00:00:26.575
even up into nursing home facilities.
7
00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:34.199
We have a vast spectrum of experience
with the kinds of sexual abuse
8
00:00:34.267 --> 00:00:36.300
that people suffer from.
9
00:00:36.683 --> 00:00:42.958
The first thing to know when you know
that you're a victim of sexual abuse
10
00:00:43.243 --> 00:00:45.067
is that you're not alone
11
00:00:45.409 --> 00:00:50.375
and that your voice
is probably the most important tool
12
00:00:50.567 --> 00:00:54.900
and weapon to stop sexual abuse
from happening to anyone else.
13
00:00:55.558 --> 00:00:58.540
If we can get folks who will speak out
14
00:00:58.570 --> 00:01:03.340
and speak to an attorney,
then at least the wheels are in motion
15
00:01:03.375 --> 00:01:08.442
to try and stop that cycle of violence
that happens from sexual abuse.
16
00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:12.225
When working with Cochran Douglas
on a sex abuse related case,
17
00:01:12.300 --> 00:01:14.342
you can expect the utmost respect
18
00:01:15.160 --> 00:01:18.192
put forward to you
and your specific situation.
19
00:01:18.550 --> 00:01:21.217
We understand
that these cases are extremely tasking.
20
00:01:21.883 --> 00:01:23.920
It takes a certain level of bravery
21
00:01:23.950 --> 00:01:28.100
to bring these types of cases,
and we'll promise to work with you
22
00:01:28.130 --> 00:01:31.044
and make sure
that your privacy is maintained,
23
00:01:31.244 --> 00:01:32.780
that your goals are reached,
24
00:01:32.810 --> 00:01:36.010
and that you have
the confidence to move forward
25
00:01:36.075 --> 00:01:38.058
and get your life back on track.
26
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:39.664
When working on a sexual abuse case,
27
00:01:39.675 --> 00:01:42.675
one of the most common questions
that we receive is,
28
00:01:42.700 --> 00:01:44.458
"Is it too late for me to bring a case?"
29
00:01:44.570 --> 00:01:45.780
In Washington state,
30
00:01:45.810 --> 00:01:48.843
there's favorable case law
and very favorable statutes
31
00:01:48.942 --> 00:01:51.575
that help protect victims
and their ability to bring cases
32
00:01:52.383 --> 00:01:54.875
years after the abuse occurred.
33
00:01:55.850 --> 00:01:57.325
That's why you need
an experienced attorney
34
00:01:57.358 --> 00:02:00.450
like the ones here at Cochran Douglas,
who can evaluate the circumstances
35
00:02:00.500 --> 00:02:02.850
of where it occurred, when, by who
36
00:02:03.558 --> 00:02:05.683
in order to properly answer that question
37
00:02:05.867 --> 00:02:08.100
as to whether a case
can in fact be brought.
