CONCLUSION
Weighing all of these factors, we strongly believe that the advantages of joining together the claims of
multiple clients, and jointly representing multiple clients, outweigh the potential disadvantages. In
addition, since our firm has a great deal of experience representing survivors of sexual abuse and
exploitation, we believe there are distinct advantages to our firm representing multiple abuse
survivors, including yourself.
Please review the Joint Representation Agreement and this analysis carefully, ask any questions, and
consider our advice that you consult with another attorney concerning the issues raised both by our
representation of multiple clients and by joining multiple clients in the same case. If you agree with
the terms of the agreement and have carefully considered the issues in this overview please review
and sign the following Joint Representation and Prosecution Agreement and return this entire
document to our office.
