Boston Hotel Sexual Assault Lawyer — Holding the Omni Parker House Accountable for Negligent Security If you were sexually assaulted at the Omni Parker House hotel in Boston, or at another hotel in Suffolk County, the criminal sentence of the attacker is not the end of the road. It is the beginning of a different fight — a civil fight for the money, the medical care, and the lifetime of treatment that the criminal court does not order. That fight has a different burden of proof, a different timeline, and a different set of defendants. And in Boston, it is a fight we know how to wage. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. Ralph Manginello has spent 27+ years in courtrooms including federal court, building cases against hotels, bars, and corporations whose security failures hurt our clients.

Together, our Massachusetts trial team pursues the negligent security, dram shop, and corporate accountability cases that arise from sexual assault in Boston hotels. Free consultation. No fee unless we win. 1-888-ATTY-911. Past results depend on the facts of each case and do not guarantee future outcomes.

West Hollywood Hotel Sexual Assault & Civil Rights Lawsuit: Attorney911 Represents Survivors of Drugging, Rape, and Strangulation by High-Profile Defendants — Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Attorney Who Knows How the Claims Machine Undervalues These Cases, We Preserve Texts, Journals, and Witness Testimony Before They Are Disputed, California’s 10-Year Statute of Limitations for Sexual Assault, the Firm Has Recovered Millions for Survivors of Gender-Based Violence — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

When the Hotel Room That Was Supposed to Be Safe Became the Place It Happened You went to a room for what you were told was a business meeting — a few minutes to grab some paperwork, a quick conversation about a software deal, a routine handshake and goodbye. You had one glass of wine. By the time you came back to yourself, you could not move your arms or your body. The man who had invited you in was choking you, and while he was choking you, you lost consciousness. That is the kind of thing that happens in a Hollywood script, not a hotel room on a Tuesday night. Then you woke up, and it was not a script, and the man was a United States congressman, and the hotel was a West Hollywood property known to everyone in Los Angeles. Maybe you are Lonna Drewes, and your case has been public, and your attorney has filed a police report with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and you are reading this because someone told you this was the kind of place that explains what your rights are in plain English. Maybe you are a survivor who has not yet told anyone, and you are still trying to decide if what was done to you has a name, and if the name has a remedy. Maybe the room was not in West Hollywood, and the man who hurt you did not have a title, and the hotel was…

Days Inn Motel in Irving, Dallas County, Texas Used as Base for Multi-State Human Trafficking Operation — Attorney911 Pursues Hotel Chains and Corporate Parents Under Texas Chapter 98 for Knowingly or Negligently Benefiting from Sex Trafficking, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Attorney Who Knows How the Claims Machine Values and Denies Trafficking Cases, We Preserve Hotel Surveillance Footage, Keycard Logs, and Online Advertisements Before They Are Deleted, Forced Prostitution, Identity Theft, and Psychological Trauma, the Firm Has Recovered Millions for Victims of Severe Abuse — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

If This Happened to You at the Days Inn, or to Someone You Love — Here Is What the Law Actually Does for You You are reading this at 2 a.m., or close to it. Maybe you saw the news about the Days Inn at 2200 E. Airport Freeway in Irving and recognized something in the story that felt too close. Maybe your phone shows calls to a Saginaw, Michigan number, or photos you would rather not explain, or a credit card statement full of things that are not yours. Maybe a daughter, a sister, a friend who left with a man she trusted did not come back the same person. The rest of this page is for you. We are going to walk through, in plain language, what Texas law and federal law say about what happened in that building, who owes you what, and what the next 72 hours need to look like. Then we will tell you how to reach us. What you read below applies whether the survivor is you, a family member, or someone the survivor asked you to look into. It applies whether the criminal case is already moving (Irving Police charged Raymond Allen, Cheyanne Mather, and Kimberly Simerson in June 2025) or whether the criminal system has not yet been engaged. The criminal case in Dallas County pursues the traffickers under Texas criminal law. The civil case we are talking about is a separate proceeding, brought by the survivor or the survivor’s family,…

Days Inn Sex Trafficking Lawsuit in San Antonio & Houston — Attorney911 Holds Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and Franchise Operators Under TVPRA for Multi-Year Exploitation of Jane Doe (A.A.M.), Cash-Paid Rooms, Extended Stays & Do-Not-Disturb Signs at Texas Properties, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Attorney Who Knows How the Claims Machine Values Trafficking Cases, We Preserve Hotel Folios & Night Audit Records Before They Are Deleted, Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code Chapter 98 Allows Civil Recovery for Entities That Knowingly Benefit — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

The Case Came to Texas — Now the Real Work Begins The case that started in a Newark federal courtroom just changed addresses. A Jane Doe (identified in court papers as A.A.M.) filed a sex trafficking civil lawsuit against Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Days Inns Worldwide, and several franchise entities tied to Days Inn locations. She alleges she was trafficked between 2010 and 2014 at two Days Inn properties — one in San Antonio, one in Houston. The U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, with Judge Esther Salas presiding, ruled on four separate motions to dismiss. The judge split the claims: granting some, denying others. But she also ordered the case transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, where the San Antonio hotel sits. The case will now be litigated in the jurisdiction where the alleged abuse occurred. If you or someone you love was trafficked at a Days Inn, a Super 8, a Howard Johnson, or any other Wyndham-branded hotel in San Antonio, Houston, or anywhere along the I-10 and I-35 corridors, this is the page you need. We will walk you through exactly what the law allows, what the court has already decided, what evidence matters, how the insurance and corporate machinery works, and what a case like yours is actually worth. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We have spent more than two decades fighting these fights. Ralph Manginello has been a Texas trial lawyer since…

Six-Month Sex Trafficking Nightmare at North Little Rock Motel 6: Attorney911 Holds G6 Hospitality & Stone Hospitality Group Liable Under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act for Ignoring Screams, Bruises & 100+ Police Calls—Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Claims Machine Undervalues Trafficking Survivors, We Preserve the Room Folios & Surveillance Footage Before the Overwrite, the Firm Has Recovered Millions for Victims of Severe Abuse—Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

If This Happened To You at a Budget Motel Off I-40, You Are Not Alone — and You Are Not Powerless You were held in a room you could not leave. You tried to scream for help. You tore the curtains off the wall so someone would notice. You showed your bruises to anyone who looked. You picked up the room phone and begged the front desk to call the police. And a manager came to your door, told you he would “handle it,” and walked away without ever dialing 911. If that story is yours, you did everything a human being could do to escape, and a business kept the door closed anyway. That business is a franchisee of a national motel brand. It collected room rent every single night of your captivity. It turned a documented record of police calls, prior rapes, prior forced prostitution, and a prior missing minor at its own address into more of the same nights on the books — not into a call to law enforcement. When you asked for help, the staff treated your terror as an inconvenience to be managed in-house. You may have been told that no one will believe you. That you should not file a police report. That the trafficker will retaliate. That hotels “can’t be sued” because the driver is “just a contractor.” That you have already waited too long. None of those things are true. The federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act exists to make sure none…

You Are Not What Happened to You in That Room If you are reading this at 2 a.m. in Athens, or in Covington, or somewhere in New York where you were taken from, or in any bedroom in this country you ended up in after a Days Inn room key changed hands for cash we know it is not a “consultation” you were ever planning to make. You may not even call what happened to you “trafficking.” You may call it survival, or the only option, or something you are not ready to put a name on yet. You may be sixteen or you may be forty-six. You may still be inside the situation, or you may have gotten out last week, or ten years ago. You may be the parent who got the phone call. Whatever brought you to this page, one thing is certain: what happened to you was a crime, and the people who made money from it can be made to answer in a courtroom. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We represent survivors of sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation in civil cases against the businesses that profited from their abuse. We do it under a federal statute most people have never heard of — the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) — and we do it under Georgia common law that holds every hotel, motel, and inn in this state to a duty of reasonable care to the people inside its…

Sylmar Motel 6 Human Trafficking & Negligent Security Lawsuit — Attorney911 Holds G6 Hospitality and Its Corporate Parent Accountable for 60+ Arrests, Staff Complicity in Renting Rooms to Pimps, and the Foreseeable Criminal Activity That Turned the Premises Into a Hub for Gang Violence, Drug Distribution, and Exploitation: Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Attorney Who Knows How the Claims Machine Undervalues These Cases, We Secure Guest Registries, Security Footage, and Police Reports Before They Are Purged, California’s Public Nuisance Doctrine and the City’s $250,000 Settlement Prove the Pattern — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

What Happened to You at the Sylmar Motel 6 Was a Documented Pattern, Not a Freak Event If you are reading this, something happened to you, or to someone you love, at the Motel 6 in Sylmar — and you want to know whether the law treats what happened as an accident, or as a choice the hotel made. The short answer is: it was a choice, and a long one. The longer answer is what this page is for. We are going to walk through, in plain English, what the public record already shows about that location, the federal and California civil statutes that give a survivor (or a family acting for a survivor) a path into court, what evidence exists that the hotel company knew, who you actually sue, what kind of recovery is realistic, and what you should do in the next 72 hours to protect a case that can quietly disappear while the videotapes recycle and the housekeeping logs get purged. We handle cases like this from intake through trial. Ralph P. Manginello has spent 27+ years in courtrooms, including federal court, and was a journalist before he was a lawyer — which is why we put the record up front. Lupe Peña spent years on the other side of the table as an insurance-defense attorney and now uses that knowledge for injured clients; he conducts full client consultations in Spanish. Together, our firm takes these cases on contingency — no fee unless we win. The…

Longmont Hotel Stabbing & Near-Fatal Assault Lawsuit: Attorney911 Holds Choice Hotels & Econo Lodge Liable for Issuing Room Key to Intoxicated Non-Guest Who Slashed Nicole Gallegos’ Throat, Kicked Out Her Teeth — Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Claims Machine Undervalues Premises Liability Cases, We Preserve the Key-Card Logs and Surveillance Footage Before They Are Overwritten, Colorado’s Premises Liability Act Demands Reasonable Care for Guests — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

You Were Supposed to Be Safe in That Room It was the last night before a flight out of Denver. You and your mother — together in one room at the Longmont Econo Lodge because the trip was already long and the room was supposed to be a safe place to land. Then he showed up. Pizza as a goodbye. You let him in because you knew him. He started acting erratically, and you kicked him out of the room. The right call. You thought you were safe. You weren’t. He walked to the front desk, told the husband-and-wife team working it that he was drunk and had taken “a crap ton of Xanax,” wrote a profanity-laced breakup letter in front of them, and somehow talked them into handing him a key to your room. No ID. No check. No one called you to ask if it was okay. He walked back to the room with the key the hotel gave him. He said, “I’m going to fing kill you, c.” And then he cut your throat. He kicked you on the floor. He knocked out your teeth. He told you he liked the smell of your blood. He told you to like the way his boot tastes. You woke up in a hospital. Your mother — seventy years old — was running through that hotel screaming for someone to call 911. That is what this page is about. Not the criminal case against the man who did it —…

The Room at the Norcross Red Roof Inn: Why the Hotel, Not Just the Trafficker, Can Be Held to Account If you are reading this in the middle of the night, you are probably not here for a primer. You are here because something happened to you or to someone you love at the Red Roof Inn on Brook Hollow Parkway in Norcross — and you are starting to ask the question that most survivors do not ask soon enough: the man who hurt me is one person, but the room he kept going back to, the front desk that kept handing him a key, the brand on the sign — do they answer for this too? The short answer is: yes, federal law gives you that door. The longer answer is what this page is for. We are a Texas-based trial firm with a Georgia practice, and we handle exactly these cases — civil rights and premises liability suits against hotels, motels, and short-term-rentals for survivors of sex trafficking. Ralph Manginello has spent more than 27 years in courtrooms, including federal court; Lupe Peña is a former insurance-defense attorney who now works the inside of the system against it, and conducts full consultations in Spanish.

SeaTac Motel 6 Sex Trafficking Lawsuit — Attorney911 Holds G6 Hospitality & Its Budget-Motel Chain Accountable Under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA), Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Attorney Who Knows How the Claims Machine Values and Denies These Cases, We Preserve the Guest Folios, Security Footage and Employee Training Records Before the Overwrite, the Firm Has Recovered Millions for Survivors of Severe Exploitation — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

What Happened in Those SeaTac Motel 6 Rooms Demands a Legal Answer You are reading this because something happened to you, or to someone you love, in a budget motel room off Pacific Highway South in SeaTac. Maybe it was one of the three properties named in the federal lawsuit — the one on Military Road South, the one on Pacific Highway South, or the one on 47th Avenue South. Maybe the front desk knew the same man by his first name. Maybe the same room was rented for cash, week after week, and nobody ever asked why. Maybe the locks were broken, the hallways were dark, and the cameras that were supposed to watch over you were not working. Maybe you were a minor, and the person who brought you there told you to stay quiet. Maybe you are still being trafficked, and you found this page while looking for a way out. You are not alone. And you are not without a remedy. The law in this country gives trafficking survivors a civil cause of action against not just the trafficker, but also against the business that knowingly benefited from the venture. That remedy exists at the federal level under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA). It is reinforced at the state level by Washington common-law negligent-security doctrine, which holds that a business operator owes its guests a duty of reasonable care against foreseeable criminal acts of third parties. And it is enforced in the courtroom where…
