Why Choose Bearden Trial Lawyers for Your Sexual Misconduct Case?
Coming forward after sexual misconduct takes tremendous courage. The decision to seek justice is never easy — but you don't have to face it alone. At Bearden Trial Lawyers, we represent survivors with the discretion, compassion, and fierce advocacy they deserve. We believe you, we will fight for you, and we will pursue every avenue of accountability available under the law. Whether the misconduct occurred in the workplace, an institutional setting, or at the hands of someone in a position of power or trust, we are ready to stand with you and take your case as far as it needs to go.
We handle sexual misconduct cases involving:
Sexual Assault & Battery
When someone violates your body without your consent, they can be held civilly liable for the full scope of harm they caused — including physical injury, emotional trauma, and long-term psychological damage. We pursue justice on your behalf aggressively and without apology.
Workplace Sexual Harassment
Unwanted advances, inappropriate conduct, and a hostile work environment created by sexual harassment are violations of your rights. We hold employers and individuals accountable for allowing misconduct to occur or failing to stop it.
Institutional Abuse
Schools, churches, youth organizations, and other institutions have a duty to protect the people in their care. When they fail — or when they knowingly conceal abuse — they bear significant legal responsibility. We take on institutions of every size and pursue the full accountability they owe survivors.
Misconduct by Professionals
Doctors, therapists, coaches, and others in positions of trust and authority can cause profound harm when they abuse that position. We represent survivors of professional misconduct and hold both the individual and their institution responsible.
Sex Trafficking & Exploitation
Survivors of trafficking and sexual exploitation deserve justice against every party that enabled, profited from, or failed to prevent their abuse. We pursue civil claims on behalf of survivors seeking accountability and recovery.
Retaliation Against Survivors
If you reported sexual misconduct and faced retaliation — at work, within an institution, or in your community — that retaliation is its own violation. We fight to protect survivors who had the courage to speak up.
From the Team-
These are the cases that stay with you. Every client who walks through our door carrying this kind of pain deserves to feel safe, believed, and supported from the very first conversation. I make it my personal mission to ensure that every survivor we represent knows they are not just a case number — they are a person, and what happened to them matters. We handle these cases with every ounce of care and tenacity they deserve, and we don't stop fighting until our clients have the justice and closure they came to us for.
