Civil claims allow you to hold individuals and institutions accountable, recover financial compensation, and create consequences for harmful conduct. These options are available regardless of any criminal proceedings.
Every conversation with Phoong Law is protected by attorney-client privilege. In many cases, we pursue claims while keeping your identity confidential through pseudonym filings and protective orders.
Civil courts use a lower standard of proof than criminal courts. You do not need a police report, arrest, or conviction to pursue justice and compensation through the civil system.
Your consultation is free, confidential, and without obligation. Call 866-GOT-PAIN to speak with an attorney who understands the challenges women face and knows how to fight for the justice you deserve.
San Francisco is home to pioneering women’s organizations, progressive workplace policies, and some of the strongest legal protections in the country. Yet workplace harassment, domestic violence, sexual assault, and institutional failure continue to affect women across the city, from tech offices in SoMa to homes in the Sunset. California has expanded legal protections through eliminated statutes of limitations for sexual assault claims, strengthened workplace harassment laws, and broadened institutional accountability. Phoong Law leverages these legal tools to advocate for women throughout San Francisco and the greater Bay Area, in every neighborhood, from every background, and in every type of case where a woman’s rights have been violated.
Civil claims for violence, harassment, and abuse against women can result in substantial recoveries. California courts recognize the breadth and severity of these harms and provide meaningful avenues for compensation.
Emergency treatment, ongoing medical care, PTSD therapy, trauma counseling, and long-term mental health support. Many women require years of professional care to heal from the harm they have endured.
Job loss, career disruption, reduced earning power, and missed opportunities resulting directly from violence, harassment, or institutional failure. In San Francisco’s economy, these losses are substantial.
Physical pain, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, loss of trust, and disruption to personal relationships. These non-economic damages form a major component of civil compensation.
When employers, landlords, or institutions enabled harmful conduct, California courts can impose punitive damages that punish negligence and drive organizational change.
Our attorneys represent women across a broad range of civil claims. Each case receives individualized attention, thorough investigation, and a strategy tailored to the specific harm and responsible parties.
Hostile work environments, quid pro quo harassment, and workplace assault at San Francisco tech companies, financial firms, restaurants, and every other industry. Employers who fail to act face significant liability.
Physical, emotional, and financial abuse by current or former partners. Civil remedies include restraining orders, financial recovery, and compensation for the full scope of harm endured.
Sexual assault or harassment by Uber and Lyft drivers. These San Francisco-headquartered companies face corporate liability when their screening and safety measures fall short.
Title IX violations, institutional cover-ups, and failures to investigate at SF State, USF, City College, and K-12 schools. Schools that fail their duty of care to female students face civil liability.
Abuse by clergy, counselors, and organizational leaders who exploited positions of trust. Institutions that concealed misconduct or shielded abusers bear direct responsibility.
Abuse or boundary violations by healthcare providers, therapists, or other professionals. Both the individual and the institution that employed them can be held liable.
