The very institutions entrusted with the safety and rehabilitation of our youth have, in some devastating instances, become places of deep betrayal and trauma. If you or a loved one endured sexual abuse while confined within the California juvenile justice system, including at the Ventura County Youth Correctional Facility, your voice deserves to be heard, and your suffering demands accountability.
This is not merely a legal matter; it is a profound breach of trust that echoes through a lifetime, and our firm is determined to help survivors reclaim their power after sexual abuse and secure the justice they are owed.

Pursuing Justice for Ventura County Youth Correctional Facility Sex Abuse
The scars of institutional sexual abuse are not always visible. They often show up as shattered trust, complex trauma, and a struggle for normalcy long after a sentence in a facility has been served.
Perpetrators, whether they are correctional officers, staff members, or other youth, leverage their power and authority to create cultures of silence and fear. We understand the immense courage it takes to come forward and challenge these powerful entities, and we want you to know that you are not alone in this fight. The team at Phillips Law Group will stand with you.
Our compassionate and uncompromising legal team possesses a deep understanding of the complex laws surrounding California juvenile detention center abuse claims. We are committed to holding Ventura County and its contracted facilities fully accountable for their negligence in allowing any sort of sex abuse to occur.
Our firm may be able to pursue cases of staff-on-youth sexual abuse in facilities like the Ventura Youth Correctional Facility, youth-on-youth sexual assault facilitated by inadequate supervision and failure to protect minors, and cases of systemic negligence or deliberate indifference to a known history of abuse or dangerous conditions in this facility and others like it.
What Our Clients Are Saying

I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. Thank you for everything.

A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.
Erika A.
I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...
Emily N.
My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

I am very impressed by how much care and effort this group puts into helping the homeless. That’s not something you see enough, especially in this time of increasing need for community. It’s important to me to work with companies that align with my views, and I would definitely go to Phillips for any future personal injury lawyer needs.
