As a Henderson Child Molestation Lawyer, Greenberg Gross LLP understands the profound impact this heinous crime has on victims and their families. Child molestation inflicts deep emotional, physical, and psychological trauma that can last a lifetime. Survivors deserve support, justice, and the assurance that justice will be served.
Families facing this unimaginable reality should know they are not alone. Seeking justice is an essential step in helping survivors heal and regain a sense of safety. It’s important to understand that pursuing legal action is about more than accountability—it’s about empowering survivors and preventing further harm.
Institutions and individuals who allow such abuse to occur must also be brought to justice. Whether the abuse happens within schools, community organizations, or other trusted spaces, these institutions have a duty to protect the children in their care. Failure to uphold this responsibility makes them liable.
Greenberg Gross LLP provides compassionate, comprehensive legal representation focused on the survivor’s well-being. Our approach includes thorough investigation, collection of evidence, and strategic legal advocacy to ensure your family’s voice is heard and justice is pursued.
Reporting child molestation can feel overwhelming, but taking that step is an act of courage that paves the way for healing. We are here to support you through the process, offering experienced and relentless advocacy every step of the way.
If your child has been a victim of molestation, contact Greenberg Gross LLP for a confidential consultation. Let us help you navigate this challenging time and fight for the justice and closure your family deserves.

Challenges Faced by Survivors and Families
- Emotional Trauma: Survivors often suffer from long-term psychological effects, including PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

Types of Child Molestation Cases We Handle
Our firm has experience handling a variety of child molestation cases, including:
Abuse by Family Members
Many cases of child molestation occur within the family, making it difficult for victims to come forward. We provide a supportive environment to address these sensitive cases while seeking justice for survivors.
Abuse by Teachers or Coaches
Educators, coaches, and other authority figures who exploit their positions to harm children are particularly reprehensible. Schools and organizations may also be held liable for failing to supervise or act on warning signs.
Abuse in Daycare or Childcare Settings
Daycare providers and other childcare workers are entrusted with children’s safety. When abuse occurs in these settings, the individuals and institutions responsible can be held accountable.
Online Exploitation or Grooming
Online predators often use social media, gaming platforms, or messaging apps to groom and exploit children. We handle cases involving digital abuse with diligence and expertise.
Negligence by Institutions
Organizations that fail to conduct proper background checks, ignore complaints, or fail to act on red flags can be held liable for enabling abuse.
Nevada Laws Protecting Children from Molestation
Nevada has strong laws in place to protect children from sexual abuse and provide survivors with pathways to seek justice:
Criminal and Civil Protections
Child molestation is both a criminal offense and a civil violation in Nevada. Perpetrators can face criminal charges, while survivors and their families can pursue civil claims for damages.
Statute of Limitations
Nevada law allows survivors to file civil lawsuits against the individual perpetrator at any time. However, for actions against an institution, such as a church or school, the statute of limitations are much different, and may be as short as two years depending on the circumstances.
Mandatory Reporting Laws
Teachers, doctors, daycare providers, and other professionals are required by law to report suspected child abuse. Failure to report can result in liability for enabling further harm.
Institutional Liability
Institutions that fail to supervise employees or adequately respond to allegations can be held liable for abuse committed under their watch.
