    Houma Sexual Assault Lawyer

    In addition to the physical injuries, sexual assault victims often experience depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and eating and sleeping disorders. They may be unable to function in social or stressful situations, which may prevent them from working. Victims may need compensation for medical bills, psychological counseling, and lost income.

    However, our personal injury attorneys treat all clients with respect and care. You can rely on our staff for compassionate, confidential help. We will work diligently to recover compensation and seek justice for you.
