The Survivor Justice Alliance connects survivors of sexual abuse, assault, and serious personal injury with attorneys who dedicate their careers to civil justice — at no cost, with total confidentiality, on your timeline.
A criminal case is the state versus the offender. A civil case is yours — brought on your terms, for your recovery. Civil courts can hold abusers, and the institutions that protected them, financially accountable even when no criminal charge was ever filed.
You decide whether to file, whether to settle, and when to stop. The case belongs to you — not a prosecutor.
Civil claims are decided on the preponderance of the evidence — not beyond a reasonable doubt. Many survivors win civilly where criminal cases never moved.
Schools, churches, employers, detention facilities, hotels, and rideshare companies can be held accountable for enabling or ignoring abuse.
Tell us only what you're comfortable sharing. We connect you with an alliance attorney in your state — free, no obligation, always confidential.
Thank you for trusting us. An alliance representative will reach out within one business day.

Yes. What you share is used only to match you with an attorney and is shared only with that attorney. We never sell or publish your information.
Many states have extended or eliminated civil statutes of limitations for sexual abuse — including lookback windows for older cases. An attorney can tell you exactly what applies to you, which is why reaching out is worth it even for older cases.
No. A civil claim does not require a criminal charge, conviction, or police report. Civil cases are decided on the preponderance of the evidence, a lower standard than criminal court.
