Garnet Valley, United States - January 3, 2024 /PressCable/ —
Mr. Haggard, who was appointed as the Abuse Guardian attorney for Florida because of his exceptional legal history and advocacy work for victims, believes it is crucial to shed light on the dark corners where abuse occurs, especially within the confines of psychotherapy treatments. He also believes that the victims of psychotherapist sexual abuse, including rape, deserve the highest level of legal counsel. As such, with his updated representation services, he believes he can better help victims obtain justice and begin their lengthy process of healing.

With rapes and sexual abuse in psychotherapy contexts currently occurring at a far greater rate than in the general community, Michael Haggard, Esq. believes more needs to be done to end this abuse of power and position, and to defend and support its victims.
As such, he is committed to helping victims to pursue justice, and he will—either at trial or through settlement—fight for compensation at the highest level. He will seek a sum of money that encompasses the emotional distress and pain and suffering victims have endured, and any long-term psychological consequences that have resulted from the misconduct, especially if an underlying mental health condition has been exacerbated.
Understanding that cases of rape and sexual assault and battery in psychotherapy contexts are often also drug-facilitated, Mr. Haggard will also doggedly pursue compensation for all medical expenses, therapy costs, lost wages, and other economic losses incurred by survivors. Additionally, he will fight for punitive damages that both legally and ideologically reinforce the gravity of the psychotherapist’s crime.
Any victim who trusts Mr. Haggard with their story will discover that his support and expertise extend beyond legal representation, and he has partnerships with local mental health professionals, support groups, and advocacy organizations that can provide more comprehensive assistance to survivors throughout their healing journey.
He stresses that this kind of abuse can prompt a complete mental breakdown, and if the only thing a victim can do is reach out to him for help, that is enough.
Abuse Guardian said, “My primary goal is to advocate for justice on behalf of my clients. If you or someone you know has experienced sexual abuse by a doctor, I am here to offer compassionate legal assistance. Contact me today for dedicated support throughout Florida.”
