Child Sex Abuse Lawyer
If you or your child has been a victim of sexual abuse, a child sex abuse lawyer can help you take legal action against both the individual perpetrator and the institutions that enabled the abuse — schools, churches, youth organizations, and more.

The Civil Lawsuit Process
A civil lawsuit for childhood sexual abuse is separate from any criminal proceeding. You can pursue a civil case even if:
- Criminal charges were never filed
- The criminal case was lost or dismissed
- The abuser has died
- You did not report the abuse at the time
- Many years have passed since the abuse
Statutes of Limitations and Lookback Windows
Every state has different rules about how long survivors have to file a civil lawsuit. Many states have extended their statutes of limitations for childhood sexual abuse cases, and some have created lookback windows that allow survivors to file even if the original deadline has passed.
