Victims of sexual abuse who come forward with allegations of molestation are extremely courageous. In confronting the perpetrator, they declare themselves no longer powerless and become survivors determined to pursue hope and justice.
However, while the law may punish convicted sexual predators with prison terms or probation, the criminal justice system does not provide the means for making them pay for the serious trauma their victims have suffered.
For more than 25 years, Seth Langson has worked with children, teenagers and adults to claim justice from their sexual abusers. His legal practice is devoted solely to aggressively pursuing civil action against predators – and the organizations that protect offenders – to obtain funding for medical treatment and compensation for years of pain and suffering.
Seth has also been doing clergy abuse cases involving numerous denominations since the 1980’s.
If you or a loved one has been the victim of sexual abuse, you can speak out confidently with the help of a knowledgeable and compassionate attorney. Seth Langson can help you seek financial justice from your abuser, address the debilitating effects of sexual abuse, and connect with the social and psychological resources that can lead towards healing and closure.
Seth aggressively pursues actions against:
- Priests & clergy
- Boy Scout & YMCA leaders
- Child care providers
- Family members
- School teachers
- Therapists & healthcare providers
- Nursing homes
- Hospitals
- Physicians
- Cyberstalking
Examples of some of the sexual abuse cases that Seth has handled can be found under Cases.
“As soon as I hired Seth Langson, I knew I had made the right choice to help me find justice for both myself and other victims of sexual abuse. I was fortunate to have a lawyer who was dedicated and one who truly cared for my well being. Seth Langson was willing to stand up for me and was not afraid of the tactics employed by the Roman Catholic Diocese to keep victims of sexual abuse from receiving the healing and justice they deserve. I am so thankful to have him and his legal team on my side.”
