Local Wilmington Sexual Abuse Lawyers Near You

At Lanier Law Group, we fight for survivors of sexual abuse and the justice they deserve. Based across North Carolina with an office in Wilmington, we have a long history of standing with survivors against the individuals and institutions responsible for allowing abuse to happen. Our sexual abuse attorneys handle sensitive cases with the skill, care, and discretion every survivor deserves. Lanier Law Group has been involved in some of the most significant sexual abuse settlements in North Carolina, including a $12.5 million recovery for 65 former students in the UNCSA abuse case. We are here for you.

Guiding Survivors Through the Civil Sexual Abuse Lawsuit Process

Sexual abuse cases often involve both criminal and civil legal elements. While criminal charges are pursued by the government, civil lawsuits are brought by survivors themselves. A civil claim gives survivors a direct path to seeking compensation from the individuals and institutions responsible for the abuse.

The sexual abuse attorneys at Lanier Law Group represent survivors in cases involving:

Church and clergy abuse
Doctor and nurse abuse
Sexual harassment and abuse in sport
Teacher and professor abuse
School and campus abuse
Other forms of institutional abuse

These cases carry real complexity, and they require attorneys who understand both the legal demands and the deeply personal nature of what survivors have been through. Lanier Law Group is prepared to help you move forward with the support and determination your case deserves.

"20 out of 10 stars."

There are times in your life you are so hurt and feel life has a grudge against you. Nothing in your life is going right. I lost the most important person in my life to death, of which I knew mistakes were made because I witnessed it with my own eyes. When you contact a law group you most of the time get all business and a matter of fact conversation. I want all to know that from the first phone call they listened to my lengthy story, sobbing most of the time with so much compassion. They never made any promises but offered assurances that no stone would be unturned. They fulfilled every word they said. They restored faith that I had lost. Until you are in a position like mine you can never know how invaluable Lanier Law Group is. They were wonderful while maintaining their professionalism. They treated me like a family member. They really do care about their clients. But most of all they are the best at what they do. I worked in the court system for years so I knew how attorneys and law firms basically operated. Understanding the law and it’s interpretation is the ultimate key to winning any case. Also know that if an attorney/attorneys study and review your case and know that you don’t have a chance in a court of law and are big enough to tell you that instead of giving you false hope, you then my friend have a group with valuable shared values. I have so much respect for everyone in this Law Group. I recommend Lanier Law Group, P.A. to anyone who needs representation, they are in your corner. 20 out of 10 stars.

"Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members"

I started working with Lanier Law Group in 2020 on my Social Security Disability case. They from start to finish were awesome. My case manager Janet Hanks and attorney, Ashley Sappenfield were always available to answer all my questions. I did not have to do much but sit back and let them handle whatever was needed. My case took too long (2 years) and if I did not have Janet and Ashley My case would still not be approved. I would recommend Lanier to anyone to get the job done and approved. Do not go to another firm with your case, who promise the world and do not see it to completion and do not think another firms would have worked as hard as they did on my case. Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members to handle any cases of this type and other legal services they provide. They went above and beyond!

"So thankful for your expertise and professionalism"

Mrs. Gonzalez did an awesome job of explaining everything in detail and keeping me informed on the status of my case. Despite poor customer service with the insurance company, Mrs. Gonzalez was able to fix what they could not. Mrs. Gonzalez was very helpful with helping me understand things that I was not aware of when dealing with insurance claims. I am so thankful for her expertise and professionalism.
