Welcome to Dordick Law Corporation’s dedicated resource on sexual abuse. As champions for justice and advocates for survivors, we stand in solidarity with those who have endured the trauma of childhood sexual abuse.

Founded in 1987 by Mr. Gary A. Dordick, our firm began with a single employee and a handful of cases. Through dedication and a steadfast commitment to excellence, we have earned our reputation as one of Los Angeles’s premiere law firms. Mr. Dordick’s personal approach, emphasizing individualized attention and unwavering integrity, has been the cornerstone of our success. We believe in upholding the highest ethical and moral standards, where a handshake and a person’s word carry immense weight.

Our recent landmark verdict on April 25, 2023, underscores our dedication to seeking justice for survivors. In this case, a jury returned a verdict of $2.28 billion ($836 million in damages and $1.444 million in punitive damages) in favor of plaintiff Jane Doe in Riverside Superior Court. Doe endured years of rape and sexual assault, and our firm successfully represented her against the defendant, who was convicted of felony lewd acts with a minor. This verdict is the largest sexual abuse jury verdict in CA and the largest single plaintiff injury verdict in US history. This not only reflects our legal expertise but also our commitment to advocating fiercely and compassionately on behalf of survivors.

As we extend our services to survivors of sexual abuse in schools, we recognize the importance of choosing the right legal representation. Victims of sexual abuse need compassionate support, unwavering dedication, and experienced advocacy. At Dordick Law Corporation, we offer all this and more.

Testimonials
I want to sincerely thank my attorney, Terry, and the entire team at Dordick Law for their incredible support and dedication. Although my case wasn’t a large one and the settlement was modest, they treated it with the same care and commitment as any major case. Terry’s time, effort, and compassion meant the world to me during a very challenging time. I’m especially grateful to my friend Jannette Cerda for referring me to Dordick Law and for being there every step of the way as my case manager. Her guidance and support made such a difference throughout the process. I’d also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Araceli Alvarez and Brittney Rodriguez, the legal assistants on my case, for their professionalism, kindness, and constant communication. Their attention to detail and willingness to help at every step did not go unnoticed. Thank you again to Terry, Mr. Dordick, Jannette, Araceli, Brittney, and the entire Dordick Law team for everything. Your work makes a real difference, and I’m so thankful for all you’ve done.

After sustaining several injuries resulting in surgical procedures and ongoing pain from a commercial vehicle dragging my car, I am grateful I was referred to Dordick Law Firm. My first meeting with Dorick Law was with the founder of the firm, Gary Dordick. My initial and lasting impression of Gary Dordick was that he listened, genuinely cared about what I had endured since my accident, and wanted to help me. My case was assigned to Attorney Nicholas Myers and an outstanding team that worked not only to secure a settlement for my case but to ensure I received the medical treatment I needed to improve the quality of my life. Nicholas was responsive, compassionate, and determined to end my case with a settlement to support my long-term needs due to the injuries I had sustained. Nicolas Myers, Maricruz, Ali, Cristina, and the entire team at Dordick Law are indeed the voice and advocate for their client. A sincere thank you to each of you.
