Our Process

At Kayla’s Survivors, we believe that moving forward with a claim should feel empowering—not confusing. Here’s how we guide survivors through each step, from first contact to resolution, with respect, clarity, and support.

Step 1

Reach Out & Be Heard

When you contact us, the first thing we do is listen. You tell us your story in your own words. No judgment. No pressure. Everything is private and confidential. We want to understand what happened, how it affected you, and what you hope to achieve.

You’ll have an initial consultation at no cost. We’ll answer your questions, explain your rights, and give you an honest assessment of your options.
Step 2

Case Assessment & Investigation

If you decide to move forward, we begin investigating right away—gathering documents, medical records, and other evidence; interviewing witnesses and experts; and identifying the individuals or institutions responsible. We build a clear, strong case centered on your experience.

Step 3

Strategy & Decision-Making Together

After our investigation, we sit down with you to map out possible paths. You decide how public or private you want to be, whether to pursue a lawsuit or explore settlement, and how you want the process to move forward. We explain each option transparently, so you can make informed choices.

Step 4

Legal Action & Advocacy

Once a strategy is chosen, we move into legal advocacy—filing claims, negotiating with institutions, preparing for mediation, or taking your case to court. At every stage, we update you, explain what’s happening, and respect your decisions.

Step 5

Support & Care Along the Way

Legal cases are also personal journeys. We make sure you are supported emotionally and practically throughout—connecting you with counseling or advocacy services if you want them, answering your questions promptly, and adjusting our pace to fit your comfort.

Step 6

Resolution & Next Steps

When your case concludes—whether through settlement, trial, or another outcome—we ensure you fully understand what the resolution means. We discuss the impact, the benefits, and any ongoing responsibilities, while helping you look toward healing and recovery.

Step 7

Accountability & Prevention

We believe justice goes beyond individual cases. By holding institutions accountable, we push for systemic change so that others are protected from the harms you endured.

What You Can Expect from Us

Every case is unique, but you can always expect transparency, confidentiality, and respect. We never move forward without your consent, and we never lose sight of the fact that your well-being is the most important outcome.

What Makes Us Different

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No. Your first consultation is completely free. It’s a chance for you to share your story, ask questions, and decide if you feel comfortable working with us.

  • Not necessarily. Many cases are resolved through confidential settlements. If a trial becomes the best path, we’ll prepare you fully and stand with you every step of the way.

  • It depends. Some cases resolve in a matter of months; others, especially those involving large institutions, can take longer. We’ll give you an honest estimate once we know more about your case.

  • You may still have options. Laws about time limits (called “statutes of limitations”) vary by state and by type of case. We’ll carefully review your situation to see what paths remain open.

  • Yes. Everything you share with us is confidential. You control how public or private your case becomes, and nothing moves forward without your consent.

  • That’s okay. Reaching out doesn’t commit you to anything. Sometimes survivors just need information or someone to listen. You can take time to decide what feels right.

You don’t have to carry this alone.

Our process is designed not just to seek justice but to walk with you—step by step, at your pace, with compassion.

Who Can File an Abuse Lawsuit?

Survivors of sexual abuse have the right to pursue justice through a civil lawsuit, even if the abuse occurred many years ago or during childhood. In institutional abuse cases, accountability goes beyond the individual perpetrator. It also extends to the organization that allowed the abuse to happen—whether through negligence, lack of oversight, or deliberate cover-up. Click here to learn more.
