Experienced Attorneys for Victims of Abuse and Incest

The crime of incest — sexual contact by a parent, other older family member against a related child — can have many negative long-term effects for victims, especially given that most instances of incest involve sexual assault and molestation. Incest is especially traumatic because it involves family members who are supposed to provide safety and support.
