SAN DIEGO — When a Harvard graduate recently decided to sue the prestigious school for not taking her claims of sexual assault seriously, she turned to a law firm about 3,000 miles away to file a suit with two North County attorneys.
“We’ve gotten out there,” said Irwin Zalkin about the growing reputation of the Zalkin Law Firm in Carmel Valley. “We’ve gotten to be known.”
After becoming known for taking on the San Diego Catholic Diocese and representing victims of clergy abuse among Jehovah’s Witnesses across the nation, the firm is earning a new reputation for representing college students who have sued their schools for mishandling their reports of sexual assault or harassment.
While Zalkin has represented victims of clergy abuse for more than a decade, Alex Zalkin, his 31-year-old son who joined the firm about five years ago, has focused on university cases.
