Preston Youth Correctional Facility Sexual Abuse Attorneys

The very institutions sworn to protect and rehabilitate California’s youth, in far too many instances, betrayed a sacred trust. For years, the Preston Youth Correctional Facility, now closed, operated under a shadow of systemic failure. Vulnerable young people were subjected to acts of sexual violence and exploitation by those in positions of absolute authority, and they deserve justice.

If you or a loved one endured sexual abuse while incarcerated at Preston, know this: the closure of the facility is not the end of this story. Your voice, which may have been long silenced by fear, shame, and the immense power imbalance you faced, now holds the power to demand accountability. We are here to help ensure it is heard.

Pursuing a Preston Youth Correctional Facility Sex Abuse Lawsuit

The trauma inflicted upon survivors of Preston Youth Correctional Facility sexual abuse is profound and lifelong. It often lasts long after the physical act, severing any sense of safety and distorting the path forward for so many survivors.

Young juvenile offenders were placed in state custody in California for correction, not for victimization. The State of California had a legal duty to provide for their safety and well-being, and its catastrophic failure to shield you or someone you love from sexual assault by correctional staff or other inmates constitutes a deep injustice that demands legal action.

Our firm is determined to represent survivors of institutional sexual abuse in California. Our team has a strong understanding of the complex legal landscape surrounding sex abuse claims, and we want to help. We are not just lawyers and legal staff; we are dedicated advocates who approach each case with the respect, discretion, and unwavering resolve it deserves.

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.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. 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.

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...

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.

Just would like to share my experience with Phillips And Associates. Ever since my accident in the first of the year, it was a life changing event for me and I finally decided to go with a personal injury attorney. I contacted Phillips And Associates and they made me feel like I was an actual person instead of a lot of other firms try to go with me like a number, Phillips And Associates has reached out to me in a kind, courteous and caring way they fully understand on the circumstances of the accident So far, Phillips And Associates has been absolutely wonderful. I truly recommend going with Phillips And Associates. Thanks (RuthAnn), your the Best!!! And Thank you...
