WHAT MAKES ANDREOZZI + FOOTE DIFFERENT

Sexual abuse cases are not typical personal injury cases. They generally involve trauma, power imbalances, institutional failures, and long-term harm that can ripple across survivors’ lives. While many law firms take on these cases occasionally, they often lack the experience necessary to address the full scope of harm. At Andreozzi + Foote, we exclusively focus on sexual abuse litigation, providing trauma-informed guidance and survivor-centered legal advocacy. For survivors, that means working with a team that truly understands the unique challenges of pursuing justice and ensures every decision centers on their needs and safety.

RELENTLESS FOCUS

On Institutional Accountability

We focus on holding institutions accountable for abuse that occurs on their watch, including schools, religious organizations, youth programs, health care systems, and other entities. Such abuse often happens due to inadequate policies, negligent oversight, or deliberate indifference, and civil litigation can uncover these failures while delivering justice and transparency for survivors.

Cases against institutions require a different level of investigative depth and legal strategy than individual claims. By exposing wrongdoing at the organizational level, we pursue justice for survivors while also helping protect future children and families. Our approach combines rigorous legal action with compassionate, survivor-centered support to ensure every voice is heard while holding powerful institutions accountable.

Compassionate, Trauma-Informed Legal Advocacy

At our firm, we never treat survivors as just case files. We understand that disclosure may come months or years after the event, memories may be fragmented, and trauma can shape how experiences are recalled. Our legal strategies prioritize emotional safety alongside effective advocacy, ensuring survivors feel respected and supported throughout the process.

From the first consultation through resolution of the case, survivors maintain agency over every decision. We listen, adapt, and move at a pace that acknowledges each person’s experience. Our trauma-informed approach combines thoughtful legal planning with care for the survivor’s needs, ensuring that the pursuit of justice never overrides personal safety or choice.

Dedicated On-Staff Victim Advocate

Survivors who work with our firm have access to a dedicated, on-staff victim advocate throughout their case. The advocate brings both professional experience and personal understanding as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, offering support grounded in empathy and respect.

Litigation can be difficult, especially when it involves trauma and institutional harm. Having a consistent point of contact helps create stability and reduces the need to repeat painful details. Survivors not only receive legal updates from us but also have someone available to listen, answer questions, and provide steady support.

Nationwide Representation With Deep Knowledge of State Laws

At Andreozzi + Foote, we represent survivors in cases across the United States, where each state’s laws can significantly shape the path to justice. For instance, statutes of limitations vary widely, and some states have created revival windows or updated immunity laws that allow survivors to bring claims even decades after abuse occurred. Our team closely tracks these legislative changes and applies them thoughtfully in every case to ensure no opportunity for justice is missed. This attention to state-specific laws is particularly important when institutions implicated in abuse operate in multiple states, as each jurisdiction can have unique rules and deadlines.

A Diverse Legal Team Focused on Sexual Abuse Litigation

Our attorneys bring together diverse perspectives and experiences, allowing us to approach each case with greater insight and strength. We collaborate closely at every stage, combining different approaches and insights to address the complex challenges of sexual abuse and institutional litigation.

With over 50 years of combined experience handling multi-jurisdictional cases, we ensure every case benefits from a detailed investigation, careful planning, and strategic advocacy. Our collaborative approach allows us to pursue justice effectively while keeping survivors’ needs and well-being at the forefront.

Tailored Guidance Every Step of the Way

Survivors know their own needs better than anyone else, and our role is to provide guidance that reflects those priorities. Some seek public accountability, others prefer a private resolution, and many hope for institutional reform or financial security to address long-term care. At our firm, we listen first and strategize second, tailoring every plan to each survivor’s needs and wishes.

From start to finish, we approach each case thoughtfully and respectfully. We don’t operate like an assembly line, and we never pressure survivors into decisions that don’t align with their goals. Our client testimonials show how working with our team has benefited survivors and their families.

Life-Changing Results For Victims and Families

Our mission is to achieve results that have a real, lasting impact on survivors and their families. We start by listening closely to each survivor to understand their goals and priorities. From there, we craft a strategy that seeks full and fair compensation while remaining sensitive to the survivor’s recovery. The results go beyond financial recovery, providing access to therapy, education, and other resources that help survivors and their families establish stability and plan for the future.

Through litigation, we often expose institutional wrongdoing, making those responsible answer for their actions. This accountability provides survivors with a sense of justice and closure while putting pressure on organizations to change their policies and practices.

COMMITED TO CHALLENGING

Powerful Entities on Your Behalf

Taking on large institutions requires both experience and resources, and our firm has what it takes to meet the challenge. Whether the case involves a government agency, a national organization, a religious institution, or an educational system, we approach every case with strategic depth and persistence.

Our record includes a landmark $2 billion verdict against the Boy Scouts of America, representing 600 survivors nationwide—a testament to our ability to secure meaningful results for survivors.

Institutional accountability is key to meaningful change. By pursuing litigation that highlights failures to protect communities and respond to abuse, we not only seek justice for survivors but also encourage policies and practices that prevent future harm.
