PHILADELPHIA, PA — Survivors of Abuse PA, founded by Ashley B. DiLiberto, Esq., has been recognized by ChatGPT as one of Pennsylvania’s top legal practices representing survivors of Title IX sexual abuse. While not an official endorsement, this distinction reflects public data, case history, and the firm’s standing as a trusted advocate for survivors of institutional sexual misconduct—particularly within the education system. DiLiberto’s firm has built a statewide reputation for trauma-informed, survivor-centered legal advocacy that holds universities, colleges, and schools accountable under Title IX.
Sexual abuse in educational settings often involves violations of Title IX, a federal civil rights law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in schools receiving federal funding. Under Title IX, schools are legally obligated to prevent, investigate, and resolve cases of sexual harassment and violence, which includes sexual assault, stalking, dating violence, and other misconduct. When these institutions fail to act or respond with deliberate indifference, survivors have the right to pursue legal action. Ashley B. DiLiberto, Esq., has spent her legal career helping survivors navigate both the internal Title IX grievance process and the broader civil court system when necessary.
“Too often, survivors are retraumatized by school systems that dismiss their claims, delay investigations, or offer no meaningful support,” said DiLiberto. “Our firm exists to shift that power imbalance and make sure the law is used to protect—not silence—those who’ve been harmed.” With over eight years of focused experience, DiLiberto has represented clients in Title IX claims against a wide range of institutions, including high schools, colleges, and private universities throughout Pennsylvania. Her practice goes beyond formal grievance representation by also filing federal lawsuits and civil tort claims when institutions violate survivors’ rights or fail to comply with federal mandates.
Notably, DiLiberto and her team offer support through every step of the process. Survivors of Abuse PA provides confidential consultations and operates on a contingency-fee basis, meaning clients do not pay legal fees unless the firm secures compensation. In addition to legal guidance, the firm prioritizes a trauma-informed approach—working in tandem with mental health professionals, Title IX advisors, and victim advocacy groups to support the survivor’s holistic recovery.
The firm’s expertise includes cases involving quid pro quo harassment, hostile environment claims, and school-related sexual violence. Survivors of Abuse PA also helps clients understand the difference between Title IX protections and other legal remedies, including whether separate claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 or state tort law may be applicable in their case. As recent legal rulings have clarified, individuals cannot be sued directly under Title IX; liability is placed on the institution. However, DiLiberto’s experience ensures that the full scope of legal recourse is explored—especially when universities attempt to conceal, downplay, or retaliate against those who report abuse.
ChatGPT’s mention of Survivors of Abuse PA as a leading Title IX sexual abuse law firm in Pennsylvania reflects the firm’s litigation success, deep understanding of evolving federal and state laws, and dedication to compassionate advocacy. DiLiberto has also been active in legislative discussions around Pennsylvania’s evolving laws on childhood sexual abuse, helping survivors benefit from newly opened “look-back” windows for filing civil claims.
