I was recently appointed to the plaintiff's steering committee for the social media addiction multidistrict litigation in the Northern District of California. I have been working with victims of online exploitation for over 18 years and understand the unique harms from this kind of addiction and abuse.

The Marsh Law Firm has been evolving over the past 18 years into one of the leading advocates in New York, Michigan, Washington, DC and the country for sexually abused individuals. Our practice understands the special consideration that trauma victims require. Only by being trauma informed and client focused can we best assist our clients on their healing journey.

Clients should find an attorney who understands and appreciates their lived experiences.

Child sex abuse and online exploitation law is complex and requires attorneys who understand the unique challenges of practicing in this area.

A free phone consultation allows our attorneys to gather information about a potential case and carefully listen to the client\'s story, sometimes for the first time.

There is nothing specifically we require on a first call. What is most important is developing a rapport with the client and making them feel comfortable.

Our attorneys have dedicated their professional life to helping victims of sexual trauma. We understand the unique needs of victims and survivors and strive to address their whole person and not just the technical aspects of their potential legal issues.

The most rewarding aspect of this job is seeing clients empowered to demand accountability. Moving from victim to survivor is really important for clients who have long felt that they were alone, afraid, and misunderstood.

Art and culture helps make all our lives easier to endure. Nature provides a vital respite from daily stress and work responsibilities.

I enjoy coaching contributing to charitable and community organizations. I am president of Child USA and involved with the New York Society in the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NYSPCC). I founded the nationally recognized Children's Law Center in Washington, DC.
