A survivor should have a say in what seeking justice looks like.

At The Zalkin Law Firm, we take the time to listen, explain the legal options available, and understand what each client wants to accomplish. That may include accountability, compensation, protecting privacy, or simply understanding whether there is a path forward.

Our approach is built around treating survivors with care and respect while giving them the information they need to make decisions on their own terms. https://bit.ly/3J29Zod

Recent allegations involving a Cornell University student who says she was r***d have brought renewed attention to an important question: What options does a survivor have when the systems surrounding a campus sexual assault feel confusing, inadequate, or overwhelming?

Campus sexual assault cases can involve several different processes at once. A criminal investigation, a university Title IX proceeding, and a potential civil claim may each operate differently and lead to different outcomes.

An experienced campus sexual assault lawyer can help a survivor understand those options, communicate with the school and other parties, and examine whether a university fulfilled its legal responsibilities. That may include investigating what administrators knew, obtaining internal records, questioning school officials, and determining whether failures by the institution contributed to the harm or its aftermath.

The Zalkin Law Firm, LLP represents survivors of campus sexual assault nationwide. Our attorneys help students navigate Title IX proceedings and pursue civil claims against colleges and universities when institutional failures may have played a role. https://bit.ly/48fDnjh

The legal process can feel overwhelming, especially when your case involves deeply personal experiences. Having a team that keeps you informed and treats you with genuine care can make a meaningful difference.

At The Zalkin Law Firm, LLP, we take the time to explain the process, prepare our clients for what comes next, and make sure they understand how their case is progressing.

Our work is about more than building a strong legal case. It is about standing beside our clients, helping them feel heard, and giving them the support they need throughout every stage of the process. https://bit.ly/3L2BgaG

Sexual abuse cases require more than general litigation experience. They can involve years of silence, complex institutional structures, difficult evidence, and deeply personal circumstances.

For more than 20 years, The Zalkin Law Firm has made representing sexual abuse survivors a defining focus of our practice. We have represented hundreds of survivors and taken on cases involving schools, universities, religious organizations, healthcare providers, and other institutions.

This is work we know, and work we take seriously.

A widely reported case involving a Cornell University student who alleges she was r***d is raising serious questions about what happens after a student reports sexual assault.

According to reports, the student says she provided law enforcement with information and potential leads following the alleged assault, yet has expressed frustration and a sense of betrayal over how the case was handled.

For survivors of campus sexual assault, the response from a university can be just as consequential. Schools have responsibilities when allegations of sexual misconduct arise, and failures in the way reports are investigated or addressed can leave survivors feeling unsupported by the very institutions entrusted with their safety.

At The Zalkin Law Firm, LLP, we represent campus sexual assault survivors nationwide, helping students understand their rights and pursuing accountability when colleges and universities fail to appropriately respond to sexual misconduct. https://bit.ly/48fDnjh

In a sexual abuse case, details that may seem small can become important evidence.

Text messages, emails, social media communications, photographs, medical records, and notes about dates, locations, or conversations may help establish what happened and provide context for a future investigation or civil claim.

Survivors also have choices about how they move forward. Reporting abuse to law enforcement may lead to a criminal investigation, while civil legal action can be pursued separately in appropriate circumstances. Privacy protections may also be available during the legal process.

Understanding these options can help survivors make informed decisions about what comes next.

The Zalkin Law Firm has dedicated its practice to advocating for survivors of sexual abuse and helping them understand their legal rights while pursuing accountability. https://bit.ly/4cpQC3L

Representing survivors requires more than knowing how to litigate a sexual abuse case.

It requires understanding that participating in a legal case can ask someone to revisit experiences they may have spent years trying to process.

That affects how we communicate, how we prepare clients for important stages of a case, and how we approach the attorney-client relationship from the beginning.

The Zalkin Law Firm has devoted decades to representing survivors of sexual abuse and assault. Along with pursuing accountability through the civil justice system, our attorneys have developed relationships with experts, professionals, and support resources that can help survivors throughout the legal process.

The work is legal. The approach must also be human. https://bit.ly/3J29Zod

For most students, school has now been in session for several weeks. Classes are underway, routines have settled in, and college students are becoming immersed in campus life.

It is also an important time to remember the responsibility educational institutions have to respond appropriately to sexual assault and misconduct.

For college students, sexual violence can occur on or off campus, including in residence halls, fraternity houses, parties, and other settings connected to student life. When misconduct is reported, a school’s response can have significant consequences for a survivor’s safety, housing, class schedule, and ability to continue their education.

Title IX provides important protections for students, and schools receiving federal funding have obligations regarding sexual misconduct and discrimination. The Zalkin Law Firm represents survivors nationwide in Title IX matters and civil litigation involving colleges and universities that failed to appropriately address sexual violence.

As another academic year moves forward, accountability on campus remains as important as ever. https://bit.ly/48fDnjh

FAQ: I believe my child was recently abused at school. What should I do?

If you suspect your child was sexually abused at school, there are several important places to turn. Report your concerns to the appropriate school authorities and contact your local police department or sheriff’s office. When possible, ask for an officer or unit specifically trained to investigate child sexual abuse.

Your child may also benefit from support from professionals experienced in working with children who have experienced abuse. A local children’s hospital can be a valuable resource for finding therapists, physicians, and other specialists trained to respond appropriately to allegations of child sexual abuse.

Taking these concerns seriously and involving professionals who understand how to work with children can help ensure the situation is handled appropriately. https://bit.ly/4qHPxKn
