Sexual Assault & Sexual Abuse

We’re With You And We Won’t Stop Fighting Until Justice Is Served

Sexual abuse is traumatic, isolating, and unjust. Survivors may feel powerless—unsure of who to trust or what comes next. Let us stand with you.

Our trauma-informed legal team helps survivors of sexual assault and sexual abuse find their voice, hold perpetrators accountable, and secure meaningful financial compensation. With deep compassion and fierce determination, we help you reclaim power, peace, and a path to healing.

Defining Sexual Abuse

Sexual abuse includes any unwanted sexual behavior or contact, regardless of age, setting, or relationship. It’s not just about physical acts—it also includes coercion, manipulation, threats, and abuse of power.

Common forms include:

  • Childhood sexual abuse or molestation.
  • Rape or attempted rape.
  • Sexual harassment in the workplace or school.
  • Sex trafficking or exploitation.
  • Abuse by authority figures such as clergy, teachers, or correctional officers.

If it happened without your full, informed, and free consent—it was abuse.

Why Survivors Choose Rectifi

We know how difficult it is to take that first step. That’s why we make it as safe, simple, and empowering as possible. How our lawyers are equipped to help:

  • Trauma-Informed Representation: We understand trauma. Our lawyers are trained to support survivors with care and respect throughout the process.
  • Deep Experience: Our team has fought—and won—cases against governments, schools, churches, corporations, and powerful individuals.
  • Real Results: We’ve helped survivors recover significant financial compensation and expose dangerous abusers.
  • You’re Not Alone: We’re currently representing hundreds of survivors across the U.S.—from children abused in juvenile detention to women harassed in the workplace.

We don’t just take on your case. We take it personally.

Who We Help

Our clients are people just like you—strong, brave, and ready to be heard. We’ve represented:

  • Survivors of childhood sexual abuse by clergy, teachers, or youth detention staff.
  • Women harassed, groped, or assaulted in the workplace, including at major corporations.
  • Students assaulted on campus or at school events.
  • Individuals trafficked or exploited by powerful figures.

Whether the abuse happened years ago or recently, we’re here to listen—and to act.

Your Legal Options

You may be able to file a civil lawsuit against the person who harmed you—and any institution that failed to protect you. This path can help you expose the abuse, hold responsible individuals and institutions accountable, and seek financial compensation for medical care, therapy, lost income, and pain.

In many states, survivors have more time than ever before to come forward—thanks to new laws that extend or eliminate statutes of limitations. We’ll explain all your options, privately and clearly, in a free consultation.

  1. Free, confidential consultation—no pressure to move forward.
  2. We listen—on your terms, at your pace.
  3. We explain your options—you stay in control of your next steps.
  4. If you choose us, we fight for you—with no upfront fees. You pay nothing unless we win.

Sexual Assault & Sexual Abuse Lawyers FAQ

What if the sexual abuse happened years ago?

Many survivors don’t remember, disclose, or report the sexual abuse right away. Thankfully, laws in many states now give survivors more time to file. We can help you understand the time limits in your state.

Will I have to go to court?

Not always. Many sexual abuse cases settle confidentially before trial. But if a trial is the best way to get justice, we’ll be ready—and by your side.

Can I sue an institution (like a school, church, or company)?

Yes. If an organization failed to protect you, ignored warnings, or enabled the sexual abuser, they can be held legally and financially responsible.

What does it cost to work with Rectifi?

Nothing up front. We work on a contingency basis, which means you only pay us if we win your case.

Will my case be kept private?

Your privacy is our priority. We handle every case with care and discretion. Anything you share with us is private and confidential.

Can sexual abuse survivors file a lawsuit if there are no criminal charges?

Yes, you can pursue justice in civil court even if the police do not file criminal charges or if a jury finds reasonable doubt in criminal cases. A civil sexual assault case has a lower burden of proof and focuses on securing financial recovery for your medical bills and emotional trauma. Contact a sexual assault lawyer to learn how a sexual abuse lawsuit can hold a perpetrator accountable outside of the criminal legal system.

How do sexual assault attorneys gather evidence for a case that happened years ago?

Sexual assault cases that occurred years ago can still be investigated using the legal process to obtain internal documents, medical records, and testimony from other survivors. Our sexual assault attorneys have experience identifying and gathering evidence that may show how an employer, school, or other institution failed to take reasonable steps to protect you from sexual misconduct or violence. You can request a free and confidential consultation with a sexual abuse attorney to learn more about how evidence is developed in these cases.

What kind of help is available for child survivors of sex abuse?

Child survivors of sexual abuse may face long‑term challenges that can include ongoing medical needs and other financial impacts. Legal representation can help families explore civil options for addressing these losses. Rectifi, powered by DiCello Levitt lawyers, represents survivors of sexual abuse by pursuing personal injury claims that seek compensation related to medical expenses, future care, and overall well‑being. A confidential consultation with an attorney can help you understand how our team represents survivors and their families and approaches these sensitive cases.

Can I remain anonymous while I seek justice for being sexually assaulted?

Civil courts may allow plaintiffs in sexual assault cases to proceed under a pseudonym in certain situations. Sexual assault attorneys can explain whether requesting anonymity is an option and how privacy concerns are addressed during the civil lawsuit.
