I was a victim of horrendous activities by Leaders in the BSA, by the Catholic Church at the church, and Priests (teachers) at an private all boys school they operated.

Thank you Jaqel who was very kind, sensitive, and help me start breaking out of my shell. BUT ZACK was the AVA Law Group rep who made me feel so comfortable. His techniques, compassion, knowledge, actually putting himself in my shoes at times to help me, was awesome."

Zack was very professional very caring. It was a very difficult conversation for both of us. But he handled himself in such a professional manner. He is a asset to the law firm which he is representing. I had not told anybody about what happened to me 50 years ago. These two people were the only ones I have ever said anything to. They made me feel comfortable in making my decision to contact them."

"Thank you, Andrew. Appreciate all you and your team has done to bring this matter to light."

Thank you, it gives me calm to know your hard work is paying off. It's been many years I've suffered with all of this. Now it appears some relief is around the corner. I'm older now, I thought I would take this abuse to my grave. Once again thank you.

I want to thank you for what you are doing for us. My husband's whole demeanor has changed for the better. He said he doesn't feel as guilty as he used to because he is taking a stand and hopefully sparing others from what happened to him. THANK YOU FOR HELPING HIM HEAL!

Thanks again for your help and support. Thank you for your brilliant representation and enmity for all persons that have been abused as we have and the humiliation and shame you have dissipated greatly to help redeem my self esteem and personal integrity. You don't know how important this is for me. Thank you very much.

Thank you so very much for caring about the very things that have been bottled up and stored up inside of me. I think that if not for the exposure of the atrocities covered up by BSA Attorneys, the pain that I carried with me all those years would have surfaced in negative ways. Now it is much easier to talk about. And talking about it is more therapeutic than keeping it stowed away. I know now the only thing I done wrong was let the wrong go on by keeping it to myself. NO MORE SHAME!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for fighting for me you are a Champion and Warrior for Justice now more than ever this Country needs Gladiators like yourself to make sure all the Oppression ends for the future Generations to come , Thank you and your team so much I really appreciate your support.

I owe my life to you and your staff, I can’t express to you what it means when someone finally listens. The way I feel now is whatever the outcome, your firm heard me! the young woman I spoke to that first day listened, I was thinking about suicide the day I called your office, I took a last step for faith and hope instead. Thank you be safe and well.

I found myself here with your help Mr Van Arsdale to empower me with a defense, encouragement and know how. I am grateful and amazed.

Thank y'all for your support and legal team for fighting so hard for myself and all of the survivors of sexual abuse.

Having a voice through you all is empowering in a way I was not expecting.

I'm just letting you know how proud I am letting you handle my Claim which I never would have thought about it till I saw you on TV and I called right away and got a good response ASAP and your Firm is Handling it VERY GOOD.

The Van Arsdale Law firm has been THE crusader for Boy Scout ABUSED kids!! Thank GOD I found them and was welcomed into this arena for Justice! They have kept me informed of the proceedings and their advise has been invaluable!!!!

I for one would gladly recommend the AVA firm to anyone seeking some sort of justice and trying to ensure whatever injustice they suffered never happened too anyone else.

Andrew I just realized you are the MAN at AVA. I thought you were just a Lawyer at the firm assigned to me. Thanks for taking the time for connecting with Me on an individual basis. I know there are a lot of x-scouts in this suit. Because of you I in no way feel like a just a number. I feel like I've gained a good friend. THANKS AGAIN

For 50 years I have lived with guilt and shame because I was abused for several years, as a young teenage boy, by my Assistant Scout Master. I have hidden this shame from my family and friends, and only my wife knows about this abuse. In addition to the shame, I have lived with fear because he was a Green Beret, in Viet Nam, and is more than capable of literally killing me, or my family, if I ever spoke to anyone about this. I was extremely frightened, at the age of 64, to even call your firm regarding this. In fact, I called three times, and hung up twice when your associate asked if I could identify this man. Now, for the first time in all these years I am actually starting to feel some hope that justice may be served. Intellectually I know that I did nothing wrong, but that doesn’t help much because I have felt powerless to do anything about this. You have changed that. The words "thank you” fall far short of the feelings I have toward your firm for this action.

I just wanted to reach out and tell you how thankful I am that you have done such great work. It has to be exhausting and somewhat aggravating. I feel that you have endless energy to proceed with such aggressiveness. You are fighting for strangers, people you don't even know. You are putting in hours of work to help the survivors of abuse from the BSA. I pray for you all. The gates of heaven are open for you. Many of these survivors have gone through such mental and physical anguish. Some of them became self-destructive and feel worthless. I think you are giving them a feeling of self-respect, I MEAN SOMETHING TO SOMEONE, I AM IMPORTANT. I applaud you for everything you are doing. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Thank you all very much for giving so many of us broken boys a healing Voice. It is finally so good to be heard. Your time, energy and service are Greatly Appreciated.

I would just like to thank you all for what your doing .You just don't know how much we all appreciate you for standing up for us.

You guys are hero's and have taken my dark world that I had to live with everyday to light and told my story so this wouldn't happen to another person.

I am writing this letter to let others know that real help is here for them not just empty promises or the runaround that you are worried . I can tell you all from firsthand experience that this law firm and especially mr. And Drew Van Arsdale has been a godsend for me. For over 50 years I have had nightmares and wake up in a cold sweat from what happened to me as a young boy scout. No one was there for me to hear my muffled screams in the night nor was anyone there for an old man waking up from bad dreams in the night until I reached out to the Ava Law Firm. They have helped an old man who has kept this buried for over 50 plus years inside the walls that I have built up to stop the nightmares and the pain that has festered inside me for so long. Mr. Van Arsdale assured me after my reluctance that he was there for me and would be right beside me until the very end I can assure you that was a relief because I was very reluctant to come forward. Again I can only share with you what a weight off my shoulders it has been. 50 plus years ago no one was there for a young boy cries in the night nor was anyone there for an old man's nightmares until I contacted Ava Law Group I sincerely urge anyone else who went through the pain of abuse to come forward and contact Mr. Van Arsdale and his Law Firm. He is truly a hero, in this day and age that is a very rare quality. God bless you all sincerely Donald D.
