“We recognize that survivors of child sexual abuse in New Jersey face immense barriers in their pursuit of justice,” said Joseph L. Messa, Jr., Esq. “Here, our mission is to break those barriers by offering unwavering legal support, ensuring every survivor has a voice and the opportunity to hold abusers and negligent institutions accountable.”
The firm’s initiatives include community outreach efforts to raise awareness of victims’ legal rights and partnerships with experts and advocacy groups that support survivors of sexual violence. The sexual abuse law firm remains committed to ensuring that survivors in New Jersey and beyond have access to experienced legal representation that prioritizes their well-being and legal success.
New Jersey law provides avenues for survivors of childhood sexual abuse to seek justice, including through civil lawsuits against both individual perpetrators and the institutions that enabled or failed to prevent the abuse. Under New Jersey’s Child Victims Act, survivors can file lawsuits until the age of 55 or within seven years of recognizing the abuse and its impact.
This law significantly extends the statute of limitations, allowing survivors to seek damages for the harm they suffered, even if the abuse occurred decades ago. In addition to financial compensation, civil lawsuits serve as a powerful tool for exposing wrongdoing, prompting institutional reforms, and preventing future abuse.
Understanding the sensitivity and trauma associated with NJ child sexual abuse cases, Survivors of Abuse NJ provides a compassionate, survivor-centered approach. Legal consultations remain confidential, and survivors are encouraged to share their stories at their own pace. The firm ensures that every case is handled with the highest level of professionalism, confidentiality, and care.
“The courage of survivors who come forward cannot be understated,” added Messa. “Our role as legal advocates is to empower them with the knowledge, resources, and representation needed to seek justice.”
If you or a loved one has been affected by child sexual abuse, Survivors of Abuse NJ urges you to reach out for a confidential consultation. Legal action can provide financial relief for therapy, medical expenses, and lost opportunities while ensuring that responsible parties are held accountable.
