All right, welcome to this episode of Hill Law Firm Cases. As I started this podcast, part of the reason to do it was so that I could explain to clients and potential new clients and people in our industry the type of work we do as a law firm. These are not things that we publish or put out there, but it's important, I think, that people understand what type of work we do for multiple reasons. One of which is, I can't say how many times I've had in town, reach out to me and tell me that they didn't know the type of work we did, or that they would have referred me somebody if they'd only known that was the type of case we handle.

I started this podcast with part of the idea of giving a little bit of background in who we are and what we do.

Today, I want to talk a little bit about just a general month. I want to talk about some of the cases that we filed over the last 30, 45 days or so to give you some flavor about the type of work we do. As a lawyer, really, my entire career is representing victims of sexual assault, sexual violence, sexual harassment. It's just always been something I've been very passionate about. It's something many lawyers won't take or handle, so I've gotten a lot of calls by people that have nowhere else to turn. This month is kind of different in that we've had a lot of those cases come in, and we filed three cases involving some sort of sexual assault or sexual harassment. We filed two cases. We brought in two cases involving allegations of sexual abuse by members of the Catholic Church.

One of those cases has been filed in Houston. One of those cases is here in San Antonio, and it's not currently filed. The one in Houston has been in the newspaper, the Houston Chronicle ran an article about it. We represent the victim who was assaulted when she was still a minor by the youth minister at the church. That youth minister ended up being convicted and is a registered sex offender. He was hired by the church just a very short amount of time before this assault occurred. In our lawsuit, we alleged that they failed to screen who they were hiring, supervise who they were hiring, or train them properly. On top of that, they put this man in close approximation with young children without knowing really anything about him. That case is filed in Harris County.

The one in Bexar County that we've yet to file involves a priest sexual abuse allegation for many years ago, involving a priest who's a well-known pedophile criminal, and the church has admitted as such about this priest. The third case we filed in Bexar County, Texas, involved the owner of a business who was running fake Craigslist ads to get women to come into his office for a fake interview. When they were there for the interview, he would assault, harass, and otherwise try to take advantage of these women who were trying to get a job in these tough economic times. He's now been arrested and indicted in Bexar County, Texas. We have filed a civil lawsuit against him for these actions as well.

Some of the other cases that we filed this month include a traumatic brain injury case...
