Dallas Law Firm for Child Sexual Abuse Victims

The law practice of Tahira Khan Merritt, located in Dallas, Texas, is dedicated to one cause: seeking justice for victims of child sexual abuse and exploitation of vulnerable young adults.

Since 1992, Dallas lawyer Tahira Khan Merritt has represented children and adults in Texas against those who were entrusted with their protection, but who instead violated that trust. She represents victims confidently. These complex cases can involve churches, group home operators, day care centers, schools, youth organizations, and counselors.

Lawyer Tahira Khan Merritt has tried more than 20 cases to verdict. Recently, she obtained a multimillion-dollar award for multiple victims of child sexual abuse by the Fort Worth Diocese.

Attorney Tahira Khan Merritt and her legal team are especially relentless in pursuing child sexual predators who use religious organizations to gain access to the innocent and the vulnerable. She holds these predators and the organizations that sheltered them, accountable—even though the abuse may have occurred years ago and the perpetrator may have moved out of the area.

She works with criminal authorities, including police departments and district attorney offices as well as the communities where victims and perpetrators live. Attorney Tahira Khan Merritt recently served as special prosecutor in a criminal case that put a pedophile priest away for 25 years.

Her concern for her clients is genuine. She offers resources and support to help adult victims of child sexual abuse receive sensitive and practical the support and counseling they need. Victims Advocate Dave Lewcon provides exceptional guidance based upon his own experience and his extensive work on behalf of others.
