Sexual Abuse Survivors’ Attorneys Serving Providence and all of Rhode Island
The lawyers at Mandell, Boisclair & Mandell who handle sexual assault cases know how deeply abuse and assault can change a person’s life. It can affect your sense of safety, privacy, dignity, and trust. For many survivors, the harm is compounded because the abuse happened in a place where they should have been protected, cared for, and respected.
At Mandell, Boisclair & Mandell, we represent survivors of sexual assault and abuse in Providence and throughout Rhode Island. We understand that these matters are intensely personal. We also understand that speaking with a lawyer can feel overwhelming, especially when the abuse involves a trusted professional, caregiver, institution, or organization. We will provide a safe and comfortable environment where you will be heard, listened to, and believed.
We help survivors move forward with strength and dignity. You don’t need to have all the answers before contacting us. You don’t have to explain everything perfectly. We know that it takes bravery to come forward, and all too often, survivors’ experiences are ignored or minimized.
We are here to take your experiences, your rights, and your future seriously.
We Support Survivors
Survivors of sexual assault and abuse deserve to be heard. They deserve to be believed. They deserve to be treated with compassion, care, and respect.
At Mandell, Boisclair & Mandell, we know that trauma manifests in many ways. Some people speak about what happened to them right away. Others need time. Some remember every detail clearly. Others experience confusion, fear, shame, or dissociation from what happened. None of that changes the seriousness of the abuse or the courage it takes for a survivor to reach out for help.
We provide a safe and respectful place to talk. Our Providence sexual assault and abuse lawyers take the time to understand what happened and how it affected you.

Sexual Abuse and Assault Can Happen Where People Should Feel Safe
Tragically, sexual assault and abuse often happen in environments where your safety should have been prioritized. Many survivors are harmed while receiving care, seeking help, participating in an activity, or by someone in a position of power.
Sexual abuse and assault can happen in any place where children, patients, residents, or vulnerable people depend on others for safety, including:
- Sexual Assault or Abuse in Medical Facilities
- Sexual Assault or Abuse in Nursing Homes and Care Facilities
- Sexual Assault or Abuse in Massage Parlors, Spas, and Wellness Settings
- Childhood Sexual Abuse Connected to Large Organizations
Sexual abuse connected to large youth organizations needs to be handled with care. This includes claims against:
- Schools and educational institutions
- Youth groups and camps
- Religious facilities
- Athletic programs
- In homes and other spaces where people should feel safe
Location matters. A survivor harmed in a medical setting may have different fears than a survivor abused as a child in a large organization. A nursing home resident may face different barriers than someone assaulted during a massage appointment. These are not standard cases. Each survivor deserves individual attention.
The sexual assault survivors’ lawyers at Mandell, Boisclair & Mandell approach every case with patience and care. We know that the setting matters. We know that the relationship between you and the person or institution involved can make the experience even more traumatic. We are here to help pursue the justice you deserve.
