The standard fee for personal injury cases, including sex abuse cases, is 1/3 of the total recovery plus costs advanced. If the matter goes to litigation, the fee goes up to 40% plus costs advanced.
I commend your bravery in coming forward to get some justice. I wish you the best.

To make DCYF aware of the situation call 1800RICHILD. It is rather peculiar that the mandated reporters at the hospital did not make this report. Perhaps they did not have this information.
2 cousins, one 6yr old and other 11yr old touched each other. 12 years later 6yr old (now 18 years old) is accusing 11yr old (now 23 years old) of sexual assault. What can happen?
answered on Apr 6, 2022
There could be a criminal case because there is no longer any statute of limitations for the crime of sexual assault of a child. I suppose that technically either one of them could be charged with this crime because an 11-year-old can't consent to sex either and it is technically possible to... Read more »

No need for that. The CA legislature revived sexual abuse claims for a three year period that we are still in. Immediately contact an attorney to preserve your rights.
Good luck to you.
When It wasn't how do I go about this ?

Transgender person receiving ongoing threats, stalking and life is in danger. This stalking person has multiple restraining orders and counts of sexual assault yet police aren't doing anything. Where do you go from here?

If you have restraining orders in effect, then if you continue to be harassed by the person who is subject to the restraining order, you need to keep collecting evidence of the harassing conduct. You can do this by taking photos and/or... Read more »
