Were You Abused by Peter Nygard?

You Are Not Alone.

We have won hundreds of millions for sexual abuse survivors in high profile cases.

The JJS Sexual Abuse Division has successfully represented abuse survivors in high profile sexual abuse cases against such institutions as Penn State University, Johns Hopkins Hospital, and the Catholic Church. We currently represent survivors against the University of Southern California (USC) and the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) for abuse that spanned decades. Our team, including two tenacious women who served as sexual abuse prosecutors, is known for our compassionate and effective approach in representing abuse survivors with dignity.

Class Action or Individual Lawsuit?

Whether a class action or individual lawsuit is best for a client depends on the circumstances of each case, especially the severity of the abuse and the profile of the defendant.

While we have successfully pursued class settlements, we have found individual actions produce the best results for many survivors. For example, over 160 of the women we represent against USC chose to opt out of a class settlement, which would have placed a ceiling on recovery of $250,000. We valued their cases at a much higher amount. Our team of experienced sexual abuse attorneys can advise you of your options so that you can make an informed decision.
