Sexual violence is a problem that affects millions of women and men. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 1 in 2 women and 1 in 5 men have experienced some form of sexual violence. Sexual assault and sexual abuse can be perpetrated by anyone and they occur almost everywhere, including schools, the workplace, a doctor’s office, even religious centers.

Sexual assault involves unwanted intentional sexual contact with a minor or intentional, non-consensual, sexual contact with an adult. Sexual abuse occurs when someone in a position of power or authority takes advantage of a person’s trust to involve him or her in sexual activity. Acts of sexual abuse and sexual assault have largely gone unpunished because victims tended to keep the attacks secret.

Testimonials

Attorney Waks is very knowledgeable and dedicated to his clients. I was involved in a car accident through no fault of my own, and Mr. Waks took care of a Nightmare involving the insurance company. Even though my case was relatively minor and not very rewarding for him financially, he still charged in headstrong and treated me with the utmost respect. Highly recommended!
Daniel S.‎
Mr. Waks was very helpful in an accident I was involved in. He made sure that the party responsible for the accident paid for all the damages made to my car. He also made sure I received the proper medical treatment for an injury to my back and neck. Thanks to Mr. Waks, my family and I received compensation for my injuries. If you are looking for someone diligent and caring Mr. Waks is the person for you, he will fight hard for you and get you the compensation you deserve.

When I needed an attorney to represent my interests in a personal injury case which I believed had some thorny issues, Mr. Waks carefully consulted with me, presenting both sides of the case skillfully. He constantly kept me apprised of every detail and made himself available to me when needed. He fights for his clients with a level of tenacity that is exceptional amongst his peers.

Michael represented me in a personal injury case and I can’t recommend him enough. From the very first consultation he made sure that I was always aware of my options and up to speed with every aspect of my case. He answered all my questions and used his experience and expertise to help guide my decisions instead of trying to make them all for me. He not only ensured that the settlement I received was more than enough to cover all my bills and expenses but he also made sure I had piece o… Read more

I would highly recommend Michael Waks and his law office! Back in March my 8 day old car was rear-ended and Mr. Waks was there every step of the way. Michael, and his office, maintained constant communication through the entire process and were very honest and realistic about his expectations for my case. I am very thankful and pleased with the results of my case.
Patrick C.
Our Child Caregiver was in a serious car accident around Canoga Park in the valley and her car was totaled. Thank goodness our kids were not in the car at the time and she was not seriously injured. Since she is not originally from the United States and doesn’t have much familiarity on how to handle the situation, I helped her and hired Michael who took her case. The plaintiff claimed falsely that he had a green light when in fact he turned right on a red in front of our caregiver. Since… Read more

Mr. Waks is a phenomenal lawyer. He thrives to get you the best results. I have used him two times. I would definitely recommend anyone to use him. Michael, as well as his assistant, is very professional.
Ty P.
Mr. Waks is Great! My son had been bitten by a dog. Mr. Waks was so kind to our 4-year-old son. Mr. Waks was up front and always kept us in the loop as to what was happening in the case. I would and have recommended Mr. Waks to people I know who need to be represented by a caring and skillful lawyer.
Ana A.‎
I would recommend Michael Waks to anyone who needs a personal injury lawyer. Mr. Waks helped me in two different cases. He was there all the time, not an assistant, he was there step by step for me and my family. He is upfront of what he can do for you. Michael Waks is the “BEST”.
Sharon H.
Michael Waks is GREAT! I’ve been involved in two separate auto accidents. One as a passenger and one as a driver. He has been very helpful in both cases. We used his services for our first accident and then when I was involved in my own accident, I went back to him as he provided great service. I have even referred him to others. I would recommend Michael Waks!!”
