How We Help Survivors in Southern West Virginia

Every situation is different, and so is every person’s path through it. We meet survivors in Beckley and Raleigh County where they are.

Workplace Sexual Harassment

Unwanted advances, a hostile environment, or being punished for saying no. When an employer allows it, the law may hold them responsible.

Civil Claims After Assault

A civil case is separate from any criminal charges and can let a survivor seek accountability and recovery directly from those responsible.

Institutional Responsibility

When a school, employer, or other organization ignored warning signs or failed to protect you, they may share in the responsibility.

Privacy and Discretion

These cases are deeply personal. We handle them with care and protect your privacy throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sexual Harassment and Assault Claims in Beckley and Southern West Virginia

Can I bring a civil case even if there were no criminal charges?
Yes. A civil case is separate from the criminal system. You can pursue one whether or not criminal charges were filed, and whether or not they resulted in a conviction. The standards and the goals are different.
Will my case be public?
We understand privacy is a serious concern. There are steps that can help protect your identity and your information, and we talk through them with you. Much of the early work happens confidentially
I'm not sure I'm ready. Can I still talk to someone?
Yes. You can have a confidential conversation with us with no obligation to file anything. Sometimes it just helps to understand your options. You decide what happens from there.
How long do I have to come forward?
There are deadlines for civil claims, though they can depend on the situation. If you’re considering a case, it’s worth reaching out sooner rather than later so your options stay open. We can explain how the timing applies to you.
