If you were abused here, you deserve a lawyer who takes the time to actually listen. Ashley B. DiLiberto, Esq. represents Reading survivors and their families statewide, with free and confidential consultations. Ashley is a credentialed Pennsylvania attorney who listens first and litigates hard.

Sexual Abuse Cases We Handle for Reading Survivors

In Reading and across Berks County, abuse can happen in schools, churches, medical practices, childcare centers, and youth organizations. Whatever the setting, the core question is the same: did an institution fail to protect you, and can it be held accountable? Ashley represents Reading survivors and their families in civil cases such as:

Wondering if what happened to you rises to the level of a case? The only way to know is to ask, and asking costs nothing. A civil claim exists entirely apart from the criminal justice system, so you don’t need a police report, a charge, or a conviction to talk to Ashley about your options.

Making Reading Institutions Answer for What They Did

Berks County is served by the Diocese of Allentown, one of the Pennsylvania dioceses named in the statewide grand-jury report, and survivors across the Reading area continue to come forward. A civil claim is often the only way a Reading survivor can force an institution to disclose what it knew and change how it protects people.

Filing Deadlines: What Reading Survivors Need to Know

Assuming your window has closed could be the costliest mistake you make. Pennsylvania’s filing deadlines have shifted in recent years, and for a Reading survivor, the answer depends on age, when the abuse occurred, and details specific to your case. Abuse from decades ago may still fall within the deadline, and the sooner you ask, the more options you’re likely to have. Attorney Ashley DiLiberto offers a free, confidential call to give you a clear, accurate answer, at no cost and no obligation.
