Justina is being represented by the KJC Law Firm in Boston, Massachusetts. Rev. Patrick Mahoney, spiritual advisor and spokesperson for the Pelletier family, states; "For almost 18 months, Justina Pelletier and her family had to endure emotional, physical, spiritual and psychological suffering and pain along with major civil rights violations because of the incompetence, neglect and malpractice of Boston Children's Hospital. "This lawsuit holds Boston Children's hospital accountable for their mistreatment of Justina and will ensure that no child or family ever has to endure again the nightmare the Pelletier family experienced."........."Lou, Linda, and Justina Pelletier, who ignited national debate and a media firestorm when Justina was, at age fourteen, wrongfully taken from her family by Boston Children's Hospital and officials from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have served a 35 page complaint on Boston Children's Hospital. "The law suit alleges that Alice Newton, M.D., Jurriaan Peters, M.D. and Simona Bujourneau, M.D. committed medical malpractice and violated Justina's and her parents' civil rights when they sought to have her parents' custody rights terminated after the parents refused to agree to Children's Hospital's radical 'treatment plan' for their child."

See Boston Globe story for background: (December 7. 2014): "Lou Pelletier said he was pleased that staff at Yale-New Haven focused on physical causes and testing, as opposed to the position of the Boston Children’s team that Justina’s ongoing problems, including gastrointestinal distress and trouble walking, were largely psychiatric in origin. Clinicians at Boston Children’s accused the parents of medically negligent behavior in February 2013, and the state quickly moved in to take custody of Justina. “It’s 100 percent medical,” said Pelletier; he and his wife, Linda, remain furious at Boston Children’s and the state’s child-protection agency for accusing them of medical child abuse. “There’s no psychological cause. Never has been and never is.”"
