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.

“Working with Andreozzi + Foote has been a fantastic experience. Their team is highly professional, organized, and great to collaborate with.

It’s always great to partner with a firm that values efficiency, teamwork, and excellence. I highly recommend Andreozzi + Foote for their outstanding professionalism and the quality of service they provide.”
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.
WHO YOU WORK WITH
Meet Our Partners
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.

“Andreozzi + Foote have been my lawyers for over 6, maybe 7-ish years now, as they worked on my case every step of the way, they contact me giving me updates, and if I ever had any questions, they always answered and never had to wait weeks for a call back. They got me an over 6-figure settlement. Some things were confusing for me to understand with some of the paperwork, but they helped me through everything I didn’t understand, and they made it completely easy. If I ever needed an attorney for any issues, Andreozzi + Foote will be my first and only call. They are awesome to work with.”

“Ben from Andreozzi + Foote reassured me that reaching out to the Catholic Church about my abuse could result in some closure and healing for me. My abuse has been a lifelong issue, and Ben has been immensely helpful in addressing my abuse with the Catholic Church. Thank you, Ben.”

“10/10 recommend this firm!!! Veronica Hubbard (and everyone else I dealt with at the firm) handled my case extremely professionally, fast, and listened to my needs and didn’t stop fighting for me until I was satisfied. They’re fantastic at communication and friendliness as well. Hoping I’ll never need an attorney again, but if so, I’ll never go anywhere else.”
Shelby P.
“All of the people here are amazing. I dealt a majority of the time with Nate, and he was great at listening, and you can tell he genuinely wanted justice for all of the victims. He was also great with helping me deal with the emotions that came with the trials, testimony, etc. I am so glad I went with Andreozzi + Foote.”

Fred M.
“This firm was able to resolve an issue that deeply impacted my life, and helped me win an award which stemmed from a human atrocity. The team was very caring and non-judgmental as to the specifics of my particular case. The team fought long and hard for me…My family and I will be forever grateful to this amazing law firm!”
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.
