AO Advocates is our sister firm dedicated to serving those who have suffered as a result of child sex abuse; abuse by religious leaders, teachers, and others in a position of trust.
We are in the processing of subsuming AOAdvocates.com into our central website. We ask that for any questions about our work with survivors of child sex abuse you contact our legal team via our contact form.
AO Advocates is driven by the UK and international legal expertise of our lawyers Dr. Ann Olivarius and Dr. Jef McAllister, and a specialist legal team, who have won landmark cases securing protection and justice for survivors of child sex abuse.
We believe that representing survivors of sexual abuse is more than a legal mission; it’s a measurement of our humanity.
