Austin Lawyers Representing Victims of Sexual Molestation, Sexual Abuse, and Sexual Misconduct

Unfortunately, in today's society, there are many perpetrators of child abuse who gain access to children as day care workers, teachers, coaches, priests, and youth leaders.

Sexual abuse can arise in different settings

At Heselmeyer Zinda, PLLC, we approach these difficult cases with empathy and compassion for the victim and their family.  We pride ourselves on pursuing cases with aggressive litigation towards the perpetrator and any organization that could have stopped or prevented the abuse. Unfortunately, predators who conduct these heinous crimes come in many different forms, including:

  • Day care supervisors
  • Clergy or priests
  • Teachers
  • Coaches
  • Foster parents
  • Neighbors
  • Leaders of youth organizations
  • Police officers
  • Relatives

Victims of sexual abuse need to speak to a civil attorney right away

Often victims and their families believe that the criminal process will achieve justice in a child abuse case. However, a criminal prosecution will typically not affect the entity that failed to properly screen the perpetrator of the abuse.  It is important that organizations that act recklessly and allow predators around our children be held accountable. In the cases of public entities like school districts, it is often the case that a victim, even a child, only has six months (and sometimes less time) to file a claim or give notice to the public entity, even if the criminal case is still ongoing.

Contact the Austin lawyers at Heselmeyer Zinda, PLLC to set up a free consultation to discuss your legal options.  We can help guide you through this difficult time and ensure that complete justice is obtained against all those who were culpable in failing to protect a child or woman from sexual assault or abuse.

You will have no attorney's fees, court costs, or litigation expenses unless you recover damages. Court costs, litigation expenses, and medical bills are paid from your share of the recovery. If there is no recovery, you will not be responsible for any court costs or litigation expenses, except for unpaid medical bills. 

We can be reached at our Austin office at 512-246-2224, our Dallas office at 214-390-6249, or toll-free at 1-800-863-5212.
