Legal firm emphasizes psychological barriers to justice faced by trauma survivors

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In recognition of World Mental Health Day, DTLA Law Group, a full-service civil litigation firm based in Downtown Los Angeles, is reaffirming its commitment to trauma-informed legal representation for survivors pursuing justice. The firm emphasizes that traditional legal approaches often fail to account for the psychological vulnerabilities that victims of injury and abuse can face throughout litigation.

World Mental Health Day 2025 focuses on raising awareness of mental health issues around the world and mobilizing efforts in support of mental health. The day provides an opportunity for all stakeholders working on mental health issues to talk about their work, and what more needs to be done to make mental health care a reality for people worldwide. DTLA Law Group believes that advancing access to justice must go hand in hand with understanding how legal processes affect mental health, especially for those who have experienced significant trauma.

The Downtown Los Angeles personal injury firm handles complex cases where clients have experienced such trauma, including sexual assault, institutional abuse, and catastrophic injuries. Legal experts increasingly recognize that the adversarial nature of litigation can compound existing psychological wounds, with survivors facing aggressive cross-examination, invasive medical examinations, and defense strategies designed to undermine their credibility.

"Survivors deserve representation that recognizes trauma as a real barrier to justice," said Farid Yaghoubtil, founding partner of DTLA Law Group. "When we help clients navigate both the legal and emotional challenges of litigation, we deliver outcomes that actually restore their lives."

DTLA Law Group has adapted its practice to recognize these psychological realities, working with mental health professionals to understand trauma responses and incorporating supportive approaches throughout the legal process. The firm's trauma-informed methods include preparing clients for the emotional aspects of litigation and structuring case strategies that minimize unnecessary re-traumatization.

DTLA's approach reflects growing awareness that successful representation of trauma survivors requires specialized knowledge about how psychological wounds affect behavior and decision-making. DTLA Law Group's recognition of mental health needs extends to community advocacy, including support for trauma recovery organizations and legislative efforts to strengthen protections for survivors.
