Re: past child abuse

I'm sorry about the circumstances of your son's upbringing, unfortunately for him, even if he did have a cause of action, it is likely too much time has passed to do anything about it and any action would be time barred by the statute of limitations.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can call my office to schedule an appointment for a consultation or in the alternative, I can be reached for on-phone low-cost legal consultation at 1-800-275-5336 x0233699.
