Owen, Patterson & Owen Hold Child Predators Accountable
If you, someone you know or someone you love has experienced sexual abuse in California or elsewhere in the U.S., you have someone to turn to: the experienced and caring personal injury attorneys of Owen, Patterson & Owen.
Our concerned sexual abuse injury lawyers have aggressively protected the rights and safety of sexual molestation victims in public schools. We go after the child predators or Internet solicitors who harmed you. We are successful in obtaining maximum compensation for exploited victims. They send a loud and clear message of zero tolerance for sexual abuse.
Attorney Rick Patterson works diligently to protect sex abuse victims. In 2007, he was honored by The Santa Clarita Valley Bar Association in a lawsuit he initiated (with his own daughter as the plaintiff) in order to obtain an injunction against Jack McClellan, a self-proclaimed pedophile who posted pictures of young girls in Santa Clarita on his Internet website with details on where to find them.
Mr. Patterson also worked closely with Assemblyman Cameron Smyth on Assembly Bill 534, which makes it a misdemeanor to engage in surrogate stalking, which is the act of publishing photos, physical descriptions, and/or locations of children with the intent that another person would use that information to commit a crime against a child. Consequently, the protections won in the lawsuit were made permanent after the bill was signed into law by Governor Schwarzenegger.
If you are a parent who fears that your child has been sexually abused, we can discuss the warning signs: uncharacteristic regressive behaviors, signs of physical trauma and nightmares are just a few. You should be as informed as possible on the subject of sexual abuse, in order to make informed decisions.

Sexual abuse amounts to the betrayal of a defenseless person’s sacred trust, at the individual relationship and institutional levels. We handle cases of abuse by clergy, abuse by teachers, abuse during foster care and at adult group homes. Coaches and day care workers can be pedophiles too. Their employers or sponsoring organizations can be held fully liable.
If you were the sexual abuse victim of a trusted authority figure or roving Internet predator, you most likely still are, and should seek professional help immediately. We can explain and help you combat the long-term effects of abuse, while working hard to seek full financial compensation for you.
Victims of sexual abuse come in all ages, sizes and colors. They can also be disabled. Whatever your station in life, if you have been mistreated or abused, once or repeatedly, we want to talk to you. We want to help.
Help us bring to justice the abuser or abusers in your life. Unlawful sexual conduct should be exposed and punished.
