Mr. Klest’s Chicago and Nationwide work as a Chicago sex molestation cases lawyer has received local and national media attention. Many of his sexual abuse clients are referred to him by leaders in the helping professions. As a result of his willingness to take difficult cases, he has developed expertise as to how to build a convincing sexual exploitation case.
Chicago and Nationwide Sexual Molestation Cases
Sexual abuse attorneys know that their proof is largely restricted to the convincing testimony of the victim. No X-rays or CT scans can detect that sexual exploitation by counselors or teacher molestation has occurred. Rather, awareness of it is typically repressed or ignored until a victim reaches the age of 30 or so. Surfaced memories may allow a sexual exploitation victim to identify his or her abuser.
Sexual Abuse by Counselors, Teachers, Priests, Parents
When Joseph Klest is your Chicago sexual molestation cases lawyer, he will listen to you very carefully. He will then undertake a complete investigation into all known details of the molestation charges. He will determine whether there are responsible, insured institutions whose leaders knew or should have known of the risk of sexual abuse by the perpetrator. In addition, he will find out whether those leaders took reasonable steps to protect their clientele (students, parishioners, campers) from teacher molestation, Catholic priest sex abuse, or coach molestation cases.
Mr. Klest will also take on cases of sexual abuse by family members. He is one of a relatively few sexual abuse attorneys who is willing to help childhood sexual abuse victims sue their own parents. He is often successful at getting substantial settlements for such clients.
Many of Mr. Klest’s clients have also received top dollar compensation awards from schools, churches and other institutions. They sometimes receive public apologies as well, and the often-therapeutic opportunity to finally be heard.
