Sex trafficking is a grave and ongoing issue that affects individuals and families throughout Missouri. Survivors often suffer in silence, unsure of where to turn or how to begin rebuilding their lives. At our firm, we empower survivors to take legal action against not only the traffickers but also the businesses and organizations that facilitated their exploitation.
Our experienced Missouri-based attorneys are here to support you with a trauma-informed, survivor-first approach. We’ve helped victims bring civil lawsuits against traffickers and third-party enablers, including hotels, social media platforms, landlords, and transportation companies that turned a blind eye.
Taking Legal Action Against Trafficking
Civil claims give survivors the power to demand accountability and secure financial compensation. These claims may include damages for:
Medical and mental health treatment
Lost income or job opportunities
Long-term trauma and suffering
Loss of freedom and dignity
Punitive damages against willful or negligent enablers
Survivors may file claims under Missouri law or through the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA), which holds traffickers and their facilitators civilly liable.
Why Civil Lawsuits Matter
Many trafficking networks operate with the help—or negligence—of third parties. Civil litigation not only helps survivors heal but also forces institutions to implement stronger protections against trafficking.
We will gather evidence, work with expert witnesses, and build a compelling case on your behalf. We offer free consultations and never charge fees unless we win compensation for you.
Your Rights Under Missouri and Federal Law
Whether your abuse occurred recently or years ago, you may still have a valid legal claim. Recent reforms in Missouri extend timelines for filing cases, particularly those involving childhood trafficking. Our Missouri sex trafficking attorneys will review your case and help you act before time runs out.
You’ve already survived the unimaginable—now it’s time to reclaim your power. Contact our Missouri sex trafficking lawyers today and take the first step toward justice.
