HHS specifically named as agency refusing to cooperate with GAO investigation into DOGE activities.

I’m posting on behalf of my sister with her permission to ask for legal recommendations.

She is seeking to file a civil lawsuit against an someone who allegedly sexually abused her as a child. She has reached out to multiple law firms that specialize in this area, but none have agreed to take on her case so far.

We’re hoping to understand why firms might be declining and what options she has from here. Any guidance on finding an attorney willing to take this type of case, or insight into what factors firms typically consider, would be greatly appreciated.

For context, she is still within the statute of limitations for a civil lawsuit. She already filed a police report, but the criminal statute of limitations has already lapsed.
