San Diego, California (Aug 22, 2013) – Noted San Diego injury lawyer Irwin Zalkin of The Zalkin Law Firm is offering to help foreign exchange students who have experienced abuse during their stay in the United States. With their services, the Zalkin firm aims to uphold the rights of exchange students whom may not have been treated justly or whom may have been sexually abused by caretakers, institutions and or professors in the exchange program.

The foreign exchange student program provides an opportunity for young people to immerse themselves within the culture and lifestyle of different country. Students typically live with host parents, learn about the local customs and daily ways of life from these role models. While the majority of host parents or similar sponsors are sincere in their care for the students, some abuse their responsibility, taking advantage of their foreign tenants.

As a result, increasing numbers of foreign exchange students have come forward with allegations of having been sexually abused. These allegations include unwarranted touching, molestation even more serious offences. The sheer number of cases shows just how vulnerable students can be to people they otherwise trusted. Because these individuals have little to no understanding of the laws that protect them from abuse, they require experienced attorneys to guide them and serve as their legal advocate to hold their abusers accountable.

Understanding the challenges that foreign exchange students face, the Zalkin Law Firm offers to help these individuals understand the often-misunderstood American legal system. The Zalkin attorneys have decades of experience with all facets of sexual abuse cases. By employing their services, students will have a knowledgeable team who will fight for their rights.
