Adult Sexual Abuse & Harassment

Sexual assault is a crime. You are a victim of sexual assault if someone forces you to participate in any type of sexual activity without your consent. This can occur in many forms and does not have to include intercourse.

Amber assists victims of sexual assault, physical assault, mental cruelty, and institutional abuse in advancing their civil claims and holding their abusers accountable. She is an uncompromising advocate for her clients.

Amber understands that the process of reporting is difficult and emotional, and the impact of a criminal investigation or civil litigation can be overwhelming for a survivor. Amber is trained in trauma-informed practice. She works with sensitivity and compassion to gently assist in navigating through this confusing time and ensuring her clients are making informed decisions leading to the best results possible.
