James R. Marsh, Esq.

James Marsh has over 30 years of experience advocating for children, victims, and survivors from New York City family court to the United States Supreme Court. The organization he founded in Washington, DC—the Children’s Law Center—has helped over 50,000 at-risk and vulnerable children receive free legal advocacy over the past 25 years valued at over 125 million dollars. He has been instrumental in passing major laws on behalf of victims and survivors of childhood sexual abuse, online child sexual exploitation, and child pornography. His case on compensation for victims of child pornography in federal criminal restitution proceedings was decided by the United States Supreme Court in 2014. That case, United States v. Paroline, led to the Amy, Vicky, and Andy Child Pornography Victim Assistance Act of 2018 which passed the House and Senate by unanimous consent and was signed into law in 2018.

James is an experienced trial attorney and frequent commentator, lecturer, and author on legal issues affecting children and victims of sex abuse and exploitation. He founded the Marsh Law Firm in New York, which is recognized worldwide for its work helping sexually abused victims and survivors obtain justice and rebuild their lives with dignity and respect.
