Abuse Guardian understands the sensitive nature of sexual abuse and the power imbalances that may prevent you from seeking help. It has designated Atty. Ryan Frazier as its legal advocate, tasked with walking you through the applicable laws, compensation options, and the types of lawsuits you may file (civil or criminal).
Ryan strives to secure the maximum compensation for emotional, psychological, and financial damages, including medical expenses, therapy costs, and lost income.
Time limits for filing claims vary, so seeking prompt legal advice is crucial.
The American Psychological Association (APA) Code of Ethics strictly prohibits sexual relations between psychotherapists and their patients. However, an article from The Boston Globe reports that up to 12% of therapists have been sexually intimate with clients. Given that sexual abuse is often underreported, this figure is likely an underestimate of the real prevalence of psychologist-patient molestation.
By designating a lawyer who specializes in this legal niche, such as Ryan, Abuse Guardian hopes to encourage more victims to come forward and sue perpetrators.
Confidentiality and privacy are important to Ryan. As such, consultations can be conducted online or via phone to protect your identity. His firm operates on a contingency basis, meaning fees are only collected if it successfully obtains compensation for you.
Recognizing the emotional toll of sexual abuse, Ryan provides compassionate service, which includes connecting you with advocacy groups and reputable therapists. This ensures that you continue to get the support you need even after your case is resolved.
“To abuse a patient is a betrayal of one’s oath to help people heal," Ryan said. "That’s why my team is dedicated to assisting victims like you get the justice they deserve. There are no upfront costs, so you can focus on recovering from this traumatic event instead of worrying about legal bills.”
To seek justice for yourself is to seek justice for all other victims of doctor sex abuse. Know that Abuse Guardian and its allied lawyers are here to support you every step of the way.
