Boy Scouts of America Abuse Claims

The Boy Scouts of America filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy, and in response to the claims of abuse which have been made against them, have created a trust to pay claims of sexual abuse survivors. A recent decision stated that survivors can now file a sexual abuse claim regardless of age or location.

The deadline is November 16, 2020.

Failure to file by this deadline means you may be barred from filing a claim to recover damages for sexual abuse suffered as a result of (inadequate oversight?) by the Boy Scouts of America and related organizations.

What Our Clients Say

I contacted Michael at Locks Law Firm and they continue to represent me in a great fashion. Very thorough, very professional, very caring, to the point where... they send attorneys to Florida to take depositions and to make it easier on me when I was really sick. During my career I've worked with a lot of law firms, a lot of attorneys, and they are one of the best I've ever worked with.

Everyone that I came in contact with during the course of preparation for my case was just outstanding. [It's] hard to find words to express how they cared for us and how they were right there for us every step of the way and they left no stone unturned.

I had spoken to several lawyers and they said it would be a difficult case. One of them referred me to...the Locks Law Firm. [Their] staff worked really hard to find the medical literature and the experts to prove our case...Locks Law Firm won our case with very good results.

The out-of-court settlement... has helped me with other surgeries that I have had, medical expenses, medication, and it will help me to be comfortable for the rest of my life... I did feel like I was a part of the family. I have never seen anyone fight so hard for me. At first, I was a complete stranger, and now we are friends until this day.

Thank you once again Janet! We appreciate all the Locks Law Firm has done and continues to do for their clients despite the obstacles associated with these cases.
