Hi - I’m Reed. I am a lawyer licensed to practice law in Kansas. Our attorneys fight every day for the rights of sexual abuse victims in Kansas City, Wichita and other cities across the state. My team and I are ready to help.
If your family has recently been affected by sexual violence, you may be struggling to find answers and justice. Are you troubled with questions like:
It’s important to know that there are two legal systems that handle these crimes – the criminal justice system, which prosecutes sexual offenders, and the civil court system, which helps compensate victims for damages related to their sexual abuse or sexual assault.
Our Kansas sexual abuse victims' assault attorneys understand what survivors go through and what they need. We can help. Contact us to schedule your free, confidential case evaluation today.
Our experienced team of sexual assault attorneys handles many different types of cases that involve assault, molestation, and rape. We seek to hold child molesters and perpetrators accountable for the traumatic damage they cause. We understand the fear that can come from speaking out against the perpetrator or institution, but by speaking up you can help protect future victims from experiencing something similar.
The Catholic Church is seen as a safe place for children and adults to learn and be surrounded by a community. Unfortunately, the Catholic Church has been across the news in recent years for disturbing behavior and hiding of assault. If you or a loved one has suffered from priest abuse or assault by a member of the clergy or church, call us today.
When we are ill or injured, we trust a doctor to take care of us in a safe manner. This trust may be violated by a medical professional looking to take advantage of someone in a vulnerable state. By speaking with an attorney you can understand your legal options and next steps after sexual abuse by a doctor, nurse, or medical professional.
A parent places their child in daycare to learn and develop in a warm and friendly environment with other children. A child in daycare is one of the most vulnerable because they are not able to speak about the emotional distress and sexual abuse they may experience. If you believe your child has been a victim, call us today for legal advice.
Unfortunately, sexual abuse can happen in places we least expect and in places we are taught to be safe. Other types of cases we represent include:

The statute of limitations in Kansas is the legal limit on the time that can pass between an injury and the filing of a lawsuit. For criminal sodomy, when the victim is over 18, the prosecution must fall within 10 years of the violation. If the victim is under 18, they have 10 years once they turn 18 to seek prosecution.
By speaking directly with one of our attorneys, you can learn about the specifics relating to your case.
Child sexual abuse and sexual assault can affect everyone differently. There can be physical injuries and emotional damages that can be devastating for the victim. Some common effects seen in victims include:
Yes, these are two different types of cases that you will want to discuss with your lawyer. A civil lawsuit will be against the perpetrator and will seek financial compensation and healing for the victim. Criminal litigation requires a high burden of proof and seeks fines, imprisonment, and sex offender registration. A criminal lawsuit is focused on punishing the person who committed the crime.
There is also the potential for a third-party claim that can be filed against the organization, employer, or business. By engaging with an experienced law firm, you can obtain more information around the specifics of your case and what legal options you have.
In a civil sexual abuse lawsuit, our attorneys seek compensation for the emotional trauma you have experienced. This can include medical treatment for physical injuries, psychiatric care, and other effects from the trauma. While we understand that financial compensation can never remove the pain you have suffered, it can help with the expenses incurred as well as feeling a sense of justice.
Our attorneys understand the stress and emotional pain surrounding your experience. We are committed to the well-being of victims and fight to protect future people from experiencing a similar devastating crime. Our compassionate team wants to make sure our clients receive the compensation they deserve, taking the pressure off of their shoulders during the healing process.

Our attorneys understand the depression that may be surrounding your loved one during this difficult and traumatic time. While parents and victims may be hesitant to seek legal action due to pressure from the perpetrator or institution, you should not be afraid.
