Sexual Abuse Lawyer for Glendale Survivors
Gary Partamian represents survivors of sexual abuse and assault from Glendale, La Crescenta, and Montrose in civil claims against abusers and against the schools, churches, youth programs, employers, and other institutions that failed to protect them. Consultations are free and confidential, survivors can often file under a pseudonym such as Jane Doe, and California law now gives many survivors far more time to come forward than they realize.

Car Accident and Injury Cases in Glendale
Glendale sits where the 134, the 2, and the 5 freeways come together, and its surface streets are just as busy: Brand Boulevard, Glenoaks Boulevard, Colorado Street, and the shopping and dining blocks around the Americana at Brand and the Glendale Galleria. Heavy traffic and heavy foot traffic in the same few blocks means pedestrians and drivers both get hurt. We represent Glendale residents from our office a short drive away in Pasadena.

The Legal Landscape in Glendale
Glendale is one of Los Angeles County’s largest cities. Its mix of dense apartment housing, busy commercial corridors like Brand Boulevard and the Americana at Brand, and constant traffic on the 134, 2, and 5 freeways means serious injuries happen here every day, from car and pedestrian accidents to unsafe premises and negligent security.
Glendale is also home to major employers, large healthcare facilities, and one of the region’s biggest school districts. When institutions like schools, youth programs, or employers fail to protect the people in their care, California law allows survivors to hold them accountable. Our firm has done exactly that, securing confidential six and seven figure settlements against negligent institutions.
Civil cases arising in Glendale are filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court system. Depending on the case type and amount at stake, that may mean the Glendale Courthouse on East Broadway or the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles, where most significant injury and abuse cases are litigated. Gary Partamian spent years litigating these cases in LA County courts at one of the region’s premier plaintiffs’ firms before founding Partamian Law Firm.
Why Glendale Clients Choose Partamian Law Firm
Many of our clients come to us at the most painful moment of their lives, after an assault, a devastating injury, or the loss of a family member. We built this firm around one idea: giving a voice to the voiceless. That means trauma-informed, confidential representation for survivors, direct access to your attorney rather than a case mill, and a track record that includes recognition by Super Lawyers and leadership roles with the Consumer Attorneys of California. We take cases on contingency, so hiring us costs nothing out of pocket. We only get paid if we win for you.
What to Do After an Injury or Incident in Glendale
- Get medical attention first and keep every record, bill, and referral.
- Document everything: photos of the scene and injuries, witness names, and all correspondence.
- Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance adjuster before speaking with an attorney.
- Act before deadlines pass. California statutes of limitations vary by case type, and some, like childhood sexual abuse claims under AB 218, have special rules that may give survivors more time than they think.
