Texas Boy Scout Abuse Attorney
We would love to help you through this difficult time.
If you or a loved one has been a victim to boy scout abuse in Texas, Joe Lopez can help you. There are severe consequences to these actions, long-lasting effects, and extensive emotional damage. You may not know what to do after experiencing with results that have lifelong impact.
There are few experiences more traumatic than abuse of a child. The recent revelations of boy scout abuse throughout the country have rattled many communities, including those of the Texas boy scouts. New revelations are coming out daily, and often are decades after the abuse occurred, causing concern throughout the communities. Understanding what your child may have gone through is one aspect of the healing process, and helping them cope with what could be a lifelong impact. However, the responsible parties should be held liable for the resulting abuse, the same as any person would after a sexual abuse allegation.
The reported incidences of boy scout abuse in Texas are so heartbreaking to uncover and often involve an individual who the boys trusted. This type of abuse which occurs to a young child can be very difficult to recover from, and may even take years for the child to understand what is occurring. If you suspect that your child was a victim of Texas boy scout abuse, it might take months to learn the full truth from your child. These individuals may have tricked your child and encouraged them to lie about the abuse, or your child may not even understand that they experienced abuse. Many recent claims are brought by adult victims who have taken decades to understand the true abuse they suffered in the boy scouts.
Texas boy scout abuse will often have two separate aspects
The criminal claim and the civil claim. Neither outcome will impact the other. The criminal complaint will allege the behavior of the individual at question violated Texas law, and therefore should be appropriately punished under the state, if guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
However, the civil claim for damages will be separate from the criminal complaint, and the outcome will not be contingent on what occurs in criminal court. The burden of proof in a civil lawsuit is also lower, and only requires that an attorney prove guilt “by a preponderance of the evidence.” At Joe Lopez Law, we understand these circumstances can happen and may negatively impact every aspect of your daily life. That’s why we purposefully take on fewer clients to ensure that the proper amount of time is being devoted to your case and putting your life back together. We also work on a contingency basis, meaning that you don’t have to pay a dime unless we get results. Contact us today and speak with our legal team to set up a free consultation and see what we can do to put you on the road to recovery.
Come visit our location downtown in the historical William T. Caswell house. We will make you feel right at home and help you make an informed decision about your case.
