Assault by a Trusted Individual

Sexual Assault by a Trusted Individual

We Provide Compassionate Legal Support for Victims of Sexual Abuse

The trauma from a sexual assault can linger with the survivor well after of the assault has occurred. This trauma can make getting through everyday tasks an excruciating burden that keeps the assault victim from achieving any sense of normalcy.

Unfortunately, many perpetrators of sexual assaults are in a position of power. From doctors to members of the church, people in positions of power will sometimes exert their authority over their potential victims to coerce them into thinking that the sexual abuse never occurred.

At the Denver Trial Lawyers ®, we encourage victims of sexual assaults to hold their abusers accountable. Our team is dedicated to pursuing justice and compensation for the physical, psychological, and emotional pain that has been inflicted on sexual assault victims by people in positions of power.

    Dan Sloane and his staff were nothing less than impeccable in service, communication, follow-through, and attention to detail. While it can be unnerving when dealing with legal affairs, their team kept it personal, informative, and easily understandable.

    "We are incredibly grateful to Jordan Grosgebauer and the entire team at Denver Trial Lawyers."
    After the devastating loss of our son due to medical malpractice, we felt lost, heartbroken, and unsure where to turn. Jordan was the only attorney who not only took the time to truly listen to us, but also believed in our case when others wouldn’t. Throughout the entire process, Jordan was patient, compassionate, and always available to answer our questions. She helped guide us through one of the most painful times in our lives with empathy and professionalism. Thanks to Jordan and her team's dedication and expertise, we were able to find a sense of justice for our son. We can’t thank Jordan and her team enough for their unwavering support and commitment. They brought us a measure of peace during an otherwise unimaginable time, and we will always be grateful.
    - Santana W.
    "Mr. Woodruff never gave up."
    My case ended up getting so messed up and complicated because of my former attorneys that no firm would even consider taking my case to try and salvage it. But, thanks to Mr. Woodruff for never giving up and helping us, even though his plate was so full of other clients. He never pushed us off to the side nor quit helping us. Now, this part is very important! Mr. Woodruff was never hired as my attorney, but yet, he insisted on making sure that my family and I were always taken care of and never forgotten about! Plus, he never asked us for one cent for all the time and work he had put into my case! Mr. Woodruff put more time into my case than the attorneys that I hired! In my opinion, Mr. Woodruff could have easily sent me a bill somewhere in the neighborhood of $20,000 and up! Mr. Woodruff and his firm are the only attorneys that I know who truly care about the people and not just about making money! Eventually, Mr. Woodruff and Mr. Sloane helped my family recover enough money to help us be able to start our lives over. So, if you're looking for a firm of attorneys that are ethical, actually care about you, and will do everything within their power to get you what you deserve, then you must contact Denver Trial Lawyers! My family cannot stress enough just how great this firm is! They truly saved our lives, so do yourself a huge favor and call Denver Trial Lawyers so they can save yours! Thank you, Mr. Woodruff and Mr. Sloane, from the bottom of our hearts, you will never be forgotten for all you have done for us! You are truly my family's angels!
    - Jon F.
