My mother was a resident at a home where another resident physically assaulted and raped my mother. Because the incident was physically and psychologically debilitating to my mother, she had to move to another facility. The other facility did not meet my mother's disabilities. She was without income until we hired Stanford Law Offices. Stanford Law Offices recovered sufficient funds in order for my mother to live the balance of her life in dignity through assisted and unassisted living. I cannot give enough heartfelt thanks to Stanford Law Offices for giving my mother a sense of dignity back in her life.

My wife was a 42 year old stricken with Multiple Sclerosis. By virtue of her disease, she was placed in a nursing home. Shortly after being placed in a nursing home, she was brutally sexually assaulted by an orderly. I hired Stanford Law Offices to pursue the matter. After the nursing home's cover up, Stanford Law Offices identified the assailant and the fact the nursing home failed to conduct an appropriate background check. When Stanford Law Offices identified the nursing home's failure to conduct a background check, we filed suit and all remedies were pursued. While the grief I carry to this date is permanent, I know Stanford Law Offices has brought some sense of relief to my wife and me.

Our minor daughter was sexually assaulted at her daycare center by one of her teachers. The daycare center covered the assault up and foreclosed us from any opportunity to investigate. We hired Stanford Law Offices. Peter and his team were successful in discovering the cover up and exposing the daycare center, its director, staff and teacher for having sexually assaulted our daughter. Stanford Law Offices was successful in getting us sufficient funds for us to move our entire family and start over again. We cannot say enough about the personal touch Stanford Law Offices provided to us and our family at this very sensitive time.

Common Mistakes To Avoid After A Sexual Assault Case

After sexual assault, the steps you take can affect your legal options. As Wisconsin sexual assault attorneys, we have seen survivors unintentionally hurt their civil claims. We have summarized several common missteps that can quietly limit your case.

Do not navigate this alone. Institutions and defendants often have experienced legal teams on their side. We have represented Wisconsin survivors since 1989 and can help you understand your rights and pursue accountability through a civil claim.

Waiting too long to get legal advice

Evidence fades and deadlines apply. Early guidance protects your options.

Speaking with the other side without counsel

Representatives may use your words against you. Let an attorney review the situation first.

Accepting a quick settlement before understanding your damages

Initial offers rarely reflect the full impact of what you have endured.

Not documenting medical care or counseling

Gaps in records make it harder to show the harm you have suffered.

Posting about your experience on social media

Posts can be taken out of context and used to undermine your claim.
