Sexual Abuse and Harassment

When a sexual abuse or harassment allegation surfaces at an education institution, several issues must be addressed immediately. First and foremost, steps to minimize the damage done to the student must be taken. From there, it is critical to conduct a thorough investigation of the matter and effectively address any community fallout that may occur. Doster Guin attorneys have effectively handled a range of difficult and emotionally charged matters including sexual abuse of students, sexual harassment and sexism in the workplace, equal opportunity issues, and verbal and emotional abuse.

Because in many cases a sexual abuse or harassment situation has the potential to escalate, proactively managing the complexities of community and public relations is essential. Doster Mickes lawyers have an established network among law enforcement, counselors, the media and other involved community organizations that enables us to help school districts address and resolve problems in an efficient and straightforward manner that protects the rights of everyone involved.

In addition, we can recommend and help develop preventative plans that may protect against future liabilities, including developing sexual abuse and harassment policies, staff training procedures and investigation procedures.
