Negligent, reckless, and predatory conduct by one or more people or companies often has tragic consequences, causing serious physical and mental injury, and death. Victims who have been injured and families who have lost loved ones deserve justice. We work tirelessly to bring justice to these people.
It is undeniable that the most damaging effects of sexual abuse to a survivor are the shame and guilt that can be overwhelming and debilitating. Typically, this will be accompanied by a resulting mistrust of others and avoidance of any acknowledgement or conversation concerning the abuse. We recognize how difficult and oftentimes frightening acknowledging the abuse and describing it can be. Be assured that any conversation about your situation with our firm is confidential. When we respond to an inquiry, we do so with the sensitivity, respect, and discretion necessary to provide meaningful feedback.
Perhaps as strong and enduring as any other effects on a survivor of abuse are the shame and guilt that can be overwhelming and debilitating, compounded by a resulting mistrust of others and avoidance of any acknowledgement or conversation concerning the abuse. We recognize how difficult and oftentimes frightening acknowledging the abuse and describing it can be. More than 60 private schools in New England have accusations of sexual abuse occurring on their campuses. The Meneo Law Group is an advocate for those who have been victims of abuse on a boarding school campus and will fight for justice on their behalf.
In its first safety report released in December 2019, Uber acknowledged 3,045 sexual assaults were reported in U.S. rides in 2018 alone. These assaults involved unwanted kissing, touching of sexual body parts, attempted rape, and rape. Lyft has not released any of the same safety data that Uber has and while Uber was making headlines for reported sexual assaults, Lyft had not been implicated. Thanks to hundreds of lawsuits that have recently been filed, mostly by women, Lyft is now under the same pressure.
Gig workers like those contracted with DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Instacart can be a target for assault and sexual harassment by customers. These companies are often not held responsible for any abuse their contractors may suffer leaving the victims to feel alone after their attacks. Many are resigned to the sexual harassment and abuse they receive due to the fact that they see themselves as replaceable in a gig economy that does not have to provide them with benefits or any type of job security — caring about profit over people. Likewise, customers of food delivery services can face abuse at the hands of delivery drivers who are not vetted by their employer, often delivering to people that are vulnerable or live alone. Regardless of the type of victim, The Meneo Law Group will be your advocate. Please contact us today for a confidential review of your potential case.
Airbnb was founded in 2008 and is now the largest homesharing platform in the U.S with presence in over 190 countries. Beginning in 2017 the homesharing platform began to be named in lawsuits and complaints ranging from voyeurism to sexual assault. Soon after, The Wall Street Journal created a report that spanned several cities, showing there were hundreds of instances of crimes at licensed short–term rental properties on platforms such as Airbnb, including burglaries, sexual assaults, and murders. Additionally, in 2017, the Santa Fe–based travel–advice site, Asher & Lyric, researched more than 1,000 incidents regarding Airbnb found on 3rd–party review sites, major news outlets, and from well–known travel bloggers. They found everything from murders, rapes, and kidnappings associated with short–term rentals to hosts using secret cameras to spy on their guests. The Meneo Law Group will advocate for both hosts and guests who have been victims due to their stay or hosting affiliation with Airbnb. Contact us today for a free confidential review of your case.
The Meneo Law Group also pursues claims on behalf of clients who have been sexually abused by individuals associated with other religious organizations and by health care professionals, college professors, coaches, employers, and members of the YMCA.

Thank you Ron, for allowing me the formal platform to publicly say what happened to me in the early 1970’s. It may have not been the “jury of my peers” but it was a group of respected professionals who verbally confirmed to me that what “may have” happened… “it was not my fault”. I will say that I am now at a different place in my head; maybe starting to feel closure? When we initially communicated, I had no idea I would be writing this email. Please forgive my delay in expressing my appreciation to you for your guidance and support in this extremely difficult realization of my past. Judge [name redacted] stated that you were true advocates for the abused, and he is so right. If you can, please extend my deepest appreciation to Judge [name redacted] for his kindness and wisdom. Please continue to assist lost souls like myself. May you and your family be safe and healthy.
