Sexual Abuse & Assault

Stamford, Connecticut, Sexual Assault Victim's Lawyers

If you were a victim of sexual assault as a child, you need not remain silent. In Connecticut, in some circumstances, people who were victims of sexual assault as minors may have until age 48 to file a civil lawsuit against either the person who assaulted them, the institution that failed to protect them, or both.

Silver Golub & Teitell, LLP represents child and adult sexual assault victims in Connecticut. We understand how difficult it is for victims to come forward to discuss this kind of traumatic event. We treat all calls sensitively and confidentially. If you want to keep your identity confidential, in some cases you can bring your legal action under the alias of John Doe or Jane Doe. We understand your concern and can pursue your case with the utmost sensitivity and confidentiality.

Our injury attorneys have pursued a number of sexual assault and molestation cases against the Bridgeport Catholic Diocese (for clergy sexual molestation of boys by priests) and the Boys Scouts of America (for sexual molestation of boys by adult Boy Scout leaders). We have also handled cases of sexual assaults of minors by teachers, psychiatrists, counselors, and others.

Our Approach to Sexual Assault Cases

Silver Golub & Teitell is a different kind of personal injury law firm. We represent people who have suffered the most devastating of injuries: the destruction of a child's sense of well-being. We understand a victim's discomfort with discussing the experience. Our sexual assault lawyers work to uncover the reasons behind your suffering and the institutional failures or security failures that permitted it to occur, such as not having proper procedures in place to prevent sexual contact between adults and children.

Caring for the Sexual Assault Victim

Our sexual assault lawyers focus on taking care of clients who have suffered deep psychological scars because of the sexual abuse or assault they experienced as a child. We seek to provide our clients with access to therapy and counseling to make the best possible recovery. We also seek to hold the perpetrators and the institutions that protected them financially accountable.
