New York Teacher Student Sexual Abuse Attorney
Aggressive Legal Representation for Children Abused By Teachers & School Personnel
We send our children to school thinking and believing that they are safe. However, this may not always be the case. There will always be an imbalance of power in a relationship between a teacher and a student. For this reason, New York has enacted special laws to protect students from sexual abuse at the hands of teachers and other school personnel. Any sexual relations between a teacher and a student are prohibited and illegal. School officials are required to report incidents of sexual abuse or any other abuse of students by teachers, coaches, counselor and other school district employees.

We are aggressive, yet compassionate, in fighting for the rights of our young clients and will take every step possible to protect the legal rights of our clients and seek monetary compensation from those individuals who harmed your child and the school districts that allowed it to happen.
Teacher and School Child Abuse: A National Epidemic
