Those in positions of authority are often people in positions of trust, such as doctors and police officers who are supposed to help and protect the public. However, some use their power to abuse and mistreat those who are in need of their help. For example, doctors who sexually assault their patients, police officers who physically assault members of the public, lie under oath, and correction officers who abuse inmates. Unfortunately, powerful figures who engage in these acts are often not brought to justice because their victims are afraid to come forward for fear that they will not be believed.

At The Law Office of Katherine E. Smith, PC we believe those who have been abused. We are dedicated to holding accountable individuals and institutions who use their power, influence, and trust to injure victims.
