Sexual Abuse in Private Schools

Trustworthy San Francisco Child Sexual Abuse Lawyer

Many parents assume that their children will be protected from harm if they are enrolled into a private schooling system. Unfortunately, such misinformation and assumptions have led to devastating trauma for many families. The fact of the matter remains that sexual abuse can happen anywhere and anytime, and sometimes it can occur within the walls of a private school.

Your trust has been breached, and most importantly, your child’s innocence has been violated in an unforgiveable and unjust way. At The Matiasic Firm, we know how to work with clients who have not simply been harmed but who have had their lives completely turned upside down and disrupted. Our attorneys know that there are few things more valuable to your family than compassion, sensitivity, and trust. At this time, we can help you regain your footing and take legal action to address the harm inflicted on your child.

Advocating for Children in Any Type of Sexual Abuse Case

Our firm can be trusted to successfully guide you through the one of the most emotionally charged areas of law. Many instances of private school abuse go unreported due to an environment of secrecy, but we stand ready to advocate for the rights of individuals who wish to step forward.

We have represented families of children who attend various types of private schools, including:

  • Private schools owned or established by church organizations
  • Privately owned preschools or elementary schools
  • Privately owned junior high schools and high schools
  • Private all-girls schools and private all-boys schools
  • Boarding schools and orphanages

We understand the nuances and complications of the law and we know how to be successful advocates of our clients’ rights. We can be trusted advisors, guides, and partners during complex cases. Because we are members of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum® and have extensive trial experience, our attorneys know how to win cases in the face of adversity and challenge. We can conduct thorough investigations into any San Francisco private school and maintain our relationship of client-attorney trust at a time when trust means so much for your family.

Do not be afraid to step forward! Reach out today!

Without a doubt, child sexual abuse in the private school system is one of the greatest acts of injustice inflicted upon society’s most vulnerable members. We have been the advocates of children and adolescents who have been sexually abused and molested by trusted adults and authority figures. Taking a stand against abuse offers not only the possibility of moving forward from a traumatic chapter in your child’s life, but opens the road up to recovery and helping others avoid a similar threat of abuse.

Our experience in litigating high-profile and highly emotional sex abuse cases in San Francisco and throughout Northern California has helped numerous clients move forward after unspeakable injustices have been committed against them.

“They are the type of lawyers you want to have on your side, the type you can trust!”

“Paul Matiasic represented me in an accident case where I almost got ripped off by the insurance company. The case took a little longer, but Paul and his team (Justin White) never gave up on me. They called/email every week to make sure I was feeling okay and gave me the status of the case. I felt at ease dealing with them. They are very human and care about their clients more than the money. They are the type of lawyers you want to have on your side, the type you can trust!”

Paul Matiasic is a superb personal injury attorney!

“Paul handled a case for me about eighteen months ago. It took a year to bring the recalcitrant insurance company to the table. Once there Paul was inspiring beyond his years. Strongest negotiator I have ever seen. A real treat to watch him in action. I found Paul to be prompt at returning phone calls, honest, fair and of the highest character. I would recommend him with no reservations.”

We can only say that God was on our side when Paul came into the picture.

“If it were not for Paul stepping to help with our case, we feel that it would not have been resolved as quickly and as efficiently as it was handled. We can only say that God was on our side when Paul came into the picture. Thank you, Paul!”

You can be assured The Matiasic Firm will work as hard for you, too!

“If you find yourself in need of an excellent attorney, I highly recommend The Matiasic Firm. This was a first for me and I will always remember the experience of working with Paul Matiasic and Scott Johnson in pursuing our wrongful death claim. I was turned down several times and then was referred to this firm. After presenting Paul and Scott with the facts as I saw them, they took on my case. The two attorneys as well as their staff was professional and tentative it felt as if I was their only client. We started the case in 2015 and I was advised from day one how difficult it would be but I was kept informed along the way. Any time I had a question or needed clarification Paul or Scott was there. In 2017, a settlement was reached. I just can't say enough of how pleased I was to have been their client. I will recommend Paul Matiasic and Scott Johnson to anyone in need of legal service. You can be assured The Matiasic Firm will work as hard for you, too!”

“Paul Matiasic was amazing and got me a settlement that satisfied me!”

“I found Mr. Matiasic online and he was the only one of three other lawyers who responded wanting more info. The others did not want to persue the case, thinking it hard to prove. Mr. Matiasic was the only one who asked to meet with me personally to discuss the case and it was only with Mr. Matiasic asking questions and explaining to me the what we needed to prove, that I was able to give him the solid information (photos) that resulted in a successful settlement. He worked with and for me from the initial contact in May 2007 until the settlement in Dec 2007, keeping me appraised at every step of the negotiations. I was more than pleased with the result.”
