A sexual abuse lawyer for Williamsport and Lycoming County
Williamsport is the seat of Lycoming County on the West Branch of the Susquehanna River — a north-central Pennsylvania city known worldwide as the birthplace of Little League Baseball. That heritage of youth programs makes accountability especially important here. Ashley B. DiLiberto, Esq. represents Williamsport survivors and their families statewide, with free, confidential consultations by phone or video.
Ashley is a credentialed Pennsylvania attorney who meets survivors with belief first and brings serious litigation experience to bear. Whether the abuse happened in a Williamsport school, a college, a parish, a medical office, a daycare, or a youth sports program, she explains your options in plain language and without pressure.
Sexual abuse cases we handle for Williamsport survivors
Across Williamsport and the West Branch Valley, abuse can occur in schools, colleges, churches, hospitals, childcare centers, camps, and youth sports organizations. Whatever the setting, the question is the same: did an institution fail to protect you, and can it be held accountable? Ashley represents Williamsport survivors and their families in civil cases such as:
- Daycare & childcare abuse
- School & Title IX abuse
- Clergy & church abuse
- Doctor & medical-provider abuse
- Massage & spa abuse
- Foster care & group-home abuse
If you are not sure whether what happened to you “counts,” it costs nothing to ask. A civil claim is separate from any criminal case — you do not need a police report, a criminal charge, or a conviction to speak with a lawyer about your options.
Accountability in the Williamsport region
Lycoming County is served by the Diocese of Scranton, one of the six Pennsylvania dioceses examined in the statewide grand-jury report — and a region with a deep youth-sports culture where adults are routinely trusted with children. A civil case lets a Williamsport survivor force an institution — a diocese, a school, a sports league — to answer for what it knew and allowed. Ashley brings national-scale experience to that fight, including her leadership role in the $2.46 billion Boy Scouts of America survivor settlement. Past results never guarantee a future outcome.
How long do you have to file in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania’s deadlines for civil abuse claims are specific and have been reformed in recent years — so confirm yours rather than assume. For a Williamsport survivor, how long you have can depend on your age, the timing of the abuse, and other facts. Because these rules are detailed and a misstep can end a case, we never list a single number on the page.
What matters most is this: even abuse from many years ago may still be within the deadline, and waiting can forfeit the right to file. A free, confidential call with Ashley DiLiberto gives you a clear, accurate answer about your specific deadline — at no cost and no obligation.
