Beasley, and secured million and multimillion dollar verdicts in malpractice actions involving a variety of medical specialties, including obstetrics/gynecology, emergency medicine, radiology, psychiatry, orthopedic surgery, urology, family practice, and even oral surgery.At a time when many lawyers brag about their “results” (usually a euphemism for “settlements” secured by attorneys who have never actually tried a case), Paul takes pride in the medical malpractice and personal injury cases he has personally tried to a jury verdict.

When You Need Justice

For many victims of childhood sexual abuse, receiving compensation isn’t all that is necessary in order for them to achieve closure. In order to fully heal from their abuse, and the trauma they have suffered, many victims choose to pursue Civil Actions against their abusers. By filing lawsuits, survivors of childhood abuse can not only obtain compensation for themselves but can help shine the spotlight of justice on the hidden abuses of the past and protect children in the future from suffering the same fate they endured. Survivors often find closure in knowing they have held their abusers accountable. If you have suffered childhood sexual abuse in New Jersey, you now have more time to choose the legal path that is best for you. Whether you choose to seek compensation through the Catholic Compensation Fund, or you wish to file a civil lawsuit against your abuser, we can assist you with either process to achieve your goals.

Child Sex Abuse is Philly’s Problem Too

An Epidemic of Child Sex Abuse. In October 2018, the public watched as over 150 women came forward to share their accounts of the horrific child sexual abuse they endured under former USA Gymnastics team doctor, Larry Nassar. These accounts were difficult to hear and even harder to process. But the brave women who came forward shared their stories in an attempt to heal, to seek justice, and to shed light on the epidemic of child sex abuse. As a result, Larry Nassar was sentenced to up to 175 years in prison for sexually abusing more than 150 women and girls over his 25 years as a medical doctor.

Child Sex Abuse in Philadelphia and New Jersey is a Real Problem – These national stories may make headlines – and they should. However, child sex abuse occurs in every corner of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. From the rich and wealthy neighborhoods, to the rural farm lands, and inner cities and suburbs of both States.
