Frequently Asked Questions

Is the hotline free?

Yes. All the information and resources provided by the attorneys responding to the hotline are complimentary.  And, if you have a case where they can take you on as a client for civil action, you will not be responsible for upfront costs, as the attorneys will be paid only from proceeds from any settlement.

Is the hotline confidential?

Your intake is done by a specialist in helping sexual violence victims as part of the law firm. Your information is not released to the public or made available to anyone other than those who need to evaluate it to best help you. If you become a client of the firm, you will be protected by attorney-client privilege as well.

What if my situation happened a long time ago?

The statute of limitations varies from case to case based on lots of variables. We encourage you to call to learn about your options.

My incident did not happen in the United States. Can I call the hotline?

Unfortunately, the hotline is only for situations that happened in the United States or tied to an entity in the United States.
