What if it was a family member and there’s no institution involved?
We work in civil claims, not criminal, and, unfortunately, we cannot assist everyone. People exploited by a person in a position of trust or authority or by someone upon whom they were dependent may have a civil claim against the institution the person who committed the harm worked for or had a relationship with. Family members do not fall into this category.

What if the one who committed the harm is dead?
There is no requirement for the harm-doer to be alive or even included in the claim. Nor does the perpetrator need to have been charged or convicted. We can still assist even if the perpetrator is no longer alive.

Does this apply to things like foster care or religious institutions?
Yes. We have represented individuals who were harmed while in the foster care system, religious institutions, and many other organizations.

I’m not ready. Can I wait?
Yes. There is no longer a deadline to pursue a civil claim.

We move at the pace our clients choose, which is why we are only told the story when the client is ready. And we only need to hear it once. We don’t even need the full details to get started.
