Fighting for Survivors. Holding Predators Accountable | Guy D'Andrea (Sexual Abuse Lawyer)

"What is going to drive damages has little to do with what the client is going to say about their therapy records, and instead is going to have everything to do about the conduct of an organization and/or perpetrator. That's what drives the value."

Guy D'Andrea is a passionate defender of victims of abuse, and has pursued justice against many notable religious institutions, boarding schools, massage therapists, healthcare providers and more. Today he shares what brought him to this work, how his team works up sexual assault cases and, when there unfortunately remain so many such cases across the country, how his team handles this volume.

Most of all, Guy highlights how his experience in criminal trial work has given him the skills to pivot and adapt in any courtroom, to any situation. The takeaway from this conversation for young lawyers is to go get that experience!

A tenacious and compassionate advocate for victims and survivors of abuse and assault, Guy D'Andrea is a seasoned former prosecutor and now civil trial lawyer, and is fiercely dedicated to representing those who have suffered sexual and physical assaults/abuse in institutional settings.

RVA Trial Lawyers: Virginia's Trial Lawyer Podcast

Trial lawyers do not become great overnight. It takes persistence, a relentless work ethic, a willingness to learn from mistakes, a burning passion for the craft, an authentic self, and the courage and vulnerability to enter the arena time and again.

Those who become great trial lawyers also become great people. Through their work, they grapple with the realities of the human condition and in the process cultivate character, principle, integrity, leadership, strength, compassion, and perseverance.

Based out of Richmond, RVA Trial Lawyers exists for Virginia’s trial lawyers. Through our podcast, we hope to learn from them, support them, connect them, inspire them, and preserve their work for future trial lawyers.
