Nashville Sexual Assault Lawyers

Sexual Assault Representation

First and Foremost: We.Believe.You. These are three words many survivors never hear, but need to from the outset.

If you have experienced sexual assault, sexual battery, or other sexual violence, you deserve counsel who will treat your case with both seriousness and care. HMC Civil Rights represents survivors in civil cases against perpetrators and, when the facts support it, the schools, employers, religious institutions, healthcare entities, and public bodies that failed to protect them.

HMC Civil Rights places a heavy emphasis in its practice on sexual violence, including sexual assault and battery, and related claims involving governmental negligence, deliberate indifference, and institutional abuse. With more than twenty years of litigation and trial experience, we bring courtroom strength to cases that require both strategic judgment and personal sensitivity with a trauma informed approach.

What These Cases May Involve

Sexual assault cases are rarely limited to one legal issue. Depending on the facts, a survivor may have claims involving assault and battery, Title IX, civil rights violations, negligent supervision, negligent retention, institutional indifference, invasion of privacy, retaliation, revenge porn, sex trafficking, or failures in reporting and response.

Our firm handles matters involving:

• Sexual assault and sexual battery
• School and university misconduct, including Title IX-related claims
• Workplace-related sexual assault and sexual violence
• Institutional abuse and failures to protect
• Governmental negligence or deliberate indifference to known risks
• Revenge Porn
• Sex Trafficking
• Assault by Public Figures

Our Approach

Sexual assault litigation requires more than legal knowledge. It requires an attorney who understands the courage it takes for a survivor to come forward and who can pursue accountability without losing sight of the human cost of the process.

At HMC Civil Rights, we prepare these cases with discipline and trial focus from the beginning. That preparation strengthens your position whether the right outcome is a confidential resolution, a public filing, or a trial. At the same time, we work to explain the process clearly, minimize unnecessary re-traumatization, and keep your safety, privacy, and goals at the center of the strategy.

When To Contact Us

You may want to speak with an attorney if:

• You were sexually assaulted by a coworker, supervisor, student, teacher, staff member, officer, or other person in a position of power, including clergy or physician.
• A school, employer, institution, or public agency ignored warnings or failed to respond appropriately.
• You reported sexual misconduct and were retaliated against, disbelieved, or pushed out,
• You are unsure whether what happened gives rise to a civil claim and want clear advice about your options.

The tricky part about sexual assault based claims is that most claims have a very short time frame for you to act. Even though you have suffered a grave trauma, it is very important you reach out as soon as possible to preserve your claims.

You do not have to sort through these questions alone. If you are considering legal action after sexual assault or sexual violence, HMC Civil Rights can evaluate your case confidentially and help you understand what accountability may look like in your circumstances. You can reach out day or night and your information will be taken if you are awake worrying, and during business hours you will be directed to an available member of our team for a confidential consultation.
