Thank You For Your Courage in Reaching Out
Based on your response, it appears the situation you described involves a private individual, not acting on behalf of an organization. Our law firm's practice is uniquely focused on holding institutions—such as schools, hospitals, and corporations—legally accountable when their negligence leads to abuse. Suing individuals directly often does not lead to satisfactory civil outcomes for survivors, as individuals may lack the assets or insurance to provide meaningful compensation.
Because your case falls outside our specific focus, we would not be the right legal team to help you achieve justice. However, it is vital you get the support and guidance you deserve. We strongly encourage you to connect with the following resources:
National Sexual Assault Hotline: For immediate, confidential support, please call (800) 656-4673. This service is available 24/7.
American Bar Association - Find Legal Help: To find a lawyer who specializes in cases against individuals, please visit FindLegalHelp.org.
We wish you the very best in your pursuit of justice and healing.
Thank You For Your Information
Thank you for clarifying. It is important to understand the legal distinctions between workplace sexual harassment and sexual assault, as they are governed by different laws. Our firm's practice is concentrated on civil cases of physical sexual assault and abuse.
For matters concerning workplace harassment, hostile work environments, or discrimination, we suggest consulting with a dedicated employment law attorney or contacting the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for guidance. They are best equipped to handle these specific claims.

Institutional Sexual Abuse
Attorneys
for
Survivors
Nationwide
Survivors of sexual abuse deserve justice not only from individual perpetrators but also from the institutions that enabled or ignored the abuse — schools, churches, youth organizations, workplaces, government facilities, and more. Suing the institution is often the only path to meaningful compensation and systemic change: individuals may lack assets, while organizations and their insurers can fund survivor recovery and be forced to fix safety failures.
Our Attorneys for Survivors work with trusted counsel across the United States to make sure every responsible party is held accountable and every survivor has access to experienced, trauma‑informed legal support.
Institutions often knew or should have known about the danger, ignored warnings, or actively covered up misconduct. Holding them liable secures deeper compensation (they usually have insurance) and pressures the organization to adopt stronger safeguards so others are protected.
Schools & universities, religious bodies, youth clubs (e.g., Scouts, sports leagues), employers, residential programs, foster‑care agencies, detention centers, and other entities that owed you a duty of care but failed to protect you.
A criminal case is run by a prosecutor to punish the offender and requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt. A civil lawsuit is brought by you and your attorneys to obtain compensation and uses the lower preponderance of the evidence standard — meaning you can win civil damages even if the criminal case was never filed or ended in acquittal.
Yes. Civil and criminal courts are separate. Many survivors file successful civil claims even when prosecutors decline to pursue or cannot prove a criminal case.
Each state sets its own statute of limitations, and many have recently extended or reopened “look‑back” windows for childhood sexual abuse. Never assume it’s too late — speak with an attorney who can confirm the current deadline where the abuse occurred.
Monetary damages may cover medical and therapy costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and sometimes punitive damages aimed at punishing egregious institutional misconduct.
Most cases settle before trial. If testimony is required, trauma‑informed measures (e.g., closed proceedings, video testimony) can minimize direct contact and emotional stress.
Courts frequently allow survivors to file under pseudonyms (e.g., “Jane Doe”) and seal sensitive records, protecting your privacy while you pursue justice.
Yes. We work with a national network of trusted counsel so survivors in any U.S. state can access experienced representation without traveling.
We operate on a contingency‑fee basis — you pay nothing up‑front and no attorney’s fee at all unless we obtain a settlement or verdict in your favor. Initial consultations are free and confidential.
If you, your child, or a loved one experienced sexual abuse connected to any institution, you deserve answers and accountability. Our team is here to listen and explain your options — wherever you are in the United States.
