After another firm dropped my case and told me I didn’t have one, I was completely discouraged. Thankfully, I found Denise Chavez, Josh Zokaeem and the incredible team at The Capital Law Firm and they absolutely proved otherwise.
From the very beginning, Denise was straightforward, honest, and consistently communicative. The entire office kept me informed every step of the way, which gave me so much peace of mind. Josh was dedicated to fighting for my case, and he secured a settlement that I am truly happy with.
I’m beyond grateful for their hard work, professionalism, and commitment. If you’re looking for a law firm that cares and delivers results, I highly recommend them without hesitation.

What to do if you’ve been assaulted:
- Report your accident to the appropriate authorities ASAP. Ensure Authorities are contacted and document the scene. Get medical treatment for any injuries you have sustained; don’t “shake it off.” Some injuries, like traumatic brain injuries or internal injuries, can have delayed symptoms. The sooner you can receive medical attention, the better for your health and your case.
- Collect as much information as possible. You or someone you trust should attempt to get information from any involved parties. Important information can be the names of all parties involved and any eyewitnesses.
- Get copies of all relevant documents. This can include police reports, incident reports, medical documents, and communications with insurance companies.
- Connect with a Therapist. There’s no shame in getting help. Your mental well-being is just as important as your physical.
The more information you have about your case, the stronger your claim will be. If you were injured due to another’s carelessness, contact Capital Law Firm to learn more about filing a claim and find out how much a potential settlement could be.

Filing a Sexual Abuse Claim in California
Requirements for Filing Sexual Abuse Claims
To file a sexual abuse claim in California, the victim and their attorney must show that they were harmed due to the actions of the accused. We must also prove that the abuse occurred within the state of California.
A skilled attorney at Capital Law Firm will gather evidence, interview witnesses, and work with experts to build a strong case.
How Long Do I Have to File a Sexual Abuse Claim?
In California, the statute of limitations for filing a sexual abuse claim is typically 10 years from the victim’s 18th birthday, or within three years of the discovery of the abuse, whichever is later. However, for certain cases involving minors or public institutions, the timeline may differ.
Criminal Cases vs. Civil Cases
It’s important to understand the difference between criminal and civil cases:
- Criminal cases: These involve charges brought by the state against the perpetrator. If convicted, the offender may face prison time, probation, or other penalties.
- Civil cases: These allow the victim to seek compensation for their suffering. The victim can pursue damages for emotional distress, medical expenses, lost wages, and other losses resulting from the abuse.
While criminal cases are handled by law enforcement, civil cases are typically pursued by a sexual abuse lawyer in California. Victims can pursue both types of cases simultaneously.
