Fighting Human Trafficking and Sex Trafficking Through Civil Justice in Atlanta

At Isenberg & Hewitt, PC, we are deeply committed to supporting survivors of human and sex trafficking seeking justice. Our Atlanta-based attorneys actively use civil lawsuits to hold traffickers and the businesses that enable them accountable across Georgia. Atlanta is one of the top U.S. hotspots for human and sex trafficking, with perpetrators often operating in hotels, motels, apartment complexes, massage parlors, and transportation hubs including airports and bus stations. We work tirelessly to expose these networks and pursue compensation for the harm survivors have endured.

Why Civil Lawsuits for Trafficking Matter

• Civil lawsuits for human trafficking help victims when criminal enforcement ends or fails: Survivors can pursue civil justice even when criminal charges are absent or insufficient.
• Civil lawsuits for human trafficking hold negligent businesses accountable: Companies that knowingly or recklessly contribute to trafficking, such as hotels, motels, apartment complexes are frequent venues for this activity and can be held responsible through appropriately filed civil claims and lawsuits.
