Hollywood portrays human trafficking as a crime that only happens overseas. In reality, people are being trafficked every day in Atlanta. Sex and labor trafficking are serious problems in Georgia and across the United States. The Stoddard Firm is committed to ending human trafficking operations by empowering survivors to seek justice against their traffickers. The abuse stops here.
Traffickers use violence, threats, poverty, addiction, and coercion to exploit vulnerable victims and enslave them for their own financial gain. An Urban Institute study found that Atlanta’s illegal sex trade profits to the tune of almost $290 million each year. If you’ve been the victim of sex trafficking, you could be eligible to file a civil lawsuit against:
The Stoddard Firm also wants to talk to victims of labor trafficking who are considering filing civil lawsuits against a company or employer that used force or threats to gain slave labor. Many of these cases involve immigrants who come to the United States by way of a work visa. It’s not uncommon for employers in the trafficking industry to take a victim’s visa papers and force them to work long, unpaid hours or else face the threat of deportation.
In other situations, an immigrant worker may pay his or her trafficker a recruitment fee, only to be sold into a system of indentured servitude. These arrangements are well-hidden from law enforcement agencies, and traffickers go to great lengths to keep it that way.
It can take survivors of human trafficking many years before they are able to come forward and talk about what happened to them. Even if the trafficking happened long ago, it’s not too late to hold those who harmed you accountable for their actions.

Matt Stoddard is fantastic. He is very responsive. After I told him what happened to me, he explained that I was going to have a hard time finding a lawyer because there was not much money at stake. Then, because he knew I was in a bind, he helped me for free. With every decision in my case, he explained his strategy, and every time, the other side acted exactly how he predicted. I couldn’t be happier. Just a great lawyer, and a really nice guy too.
