Institutional Abuse Lawyers: Seeking Justice for Survivors
Schools and other institutions should be safe spaces for whatever their specific function is. If lines are crossed and abuse does happen, the attorneys at Romanucci & Blandin have had significant experience in handling these cases to ensure victims get the justice they deserve.
What is school and institutional abuse?
School and institutional abuse is a form of sexual abuse perpetrated against minors when a teacher or any other staff member uses their power and position to exploit or sexually abuse a member(s) of the student body.
This form of abuse is a highly dehumanizing occurrence that can cause psychological and emotional damage that can last a lifetime.
We are also investigating the Lord's Ranch in Arkansas, which operated for 40 years as a religious-based treatment center for troubled youth. Our team is proud to represent more than a dozen former residents of the Lord's Ranch and their claims of sexual abuse by the facility and its staff. To learn more about the investigation, please visit our the Lord's Ranch informational page.
