Meet Our Dedicated Team
From "Surviving" To "Thriving"
Human trafficking is a $9.8 billion industry in the U.S. alone – including countless businesses that profited from your abuse:
- Online classified ads – like Backpage
- Digital marketing tools – like Salesforce
- Social media platforms – like Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat
- Private businesses – like massage parlors and clubs
- Travel companies – like hotels, motels, and truck stops
Together, we can take a stand against these companies – pressuring them to change their corrupt behaviors and getting you compensation to help you reclaim your life.
If any of these apply to you, you may be entitled to compensation:
- Were you forced or coerced to perform sexual acts in a hotel, motel, massage parlor, or other business?
- Were you contacted by someone online – via social media or email – that brought you into the life?
- Did you answer an advertisement that promised a modeling, acting, nannying, or other type of job?
- Did "clients" find you because of advertisements on Backpage or other websites?
Many companies directly support or at least look the other way to trafficking because they’re making money from it. These companies are breaking the law.
You can file a lawsuit up to 10 years after the crime occurred. Lawsuits are currently pending against Backpage, Facebook, Salesforce, Instagram, and numerous hotel chains. After we analyze your case, we’ll decide whether it’s in your best interest to join one of these current lawsuits or file a new one.
Remember, your confidentiality is our top priority. If you choose to file a lawsuit, your identity is kept secret and you are listed as Jane Doe.
It’s free and safe to talk to us.

Their team is laser focused on suing hotels and web sites that profited off of people in the life. The team really cares. Everything is 100% confidential. If they file a lawsuit it is filed under Jane Doe. I trust them completely.”
