Ask A Sexual Assault Attorney

I’m a victim of Sexual Assault. How long do I have to make a claim?

The time frame for bringing a claim is very fact-specific. Please contact an attorney promptly to preserve your rights.

With 20 years of fighting on behalf of sexual assault victims, Julie A. Kays has the skill to analyze your case and help you seek justice. Contact Julie A. Kays today.

Do I have to pay to talk to an attorney about my case?

The consultation is free. The initial conversation about your case is free. If we discover that you have a claim, we will talk further about the details of representation.

I was Sexually Assaulted as a Child. Can I still report it?

Yes. Despite state and federal institutions sometimes failing us, Washington state does have an inclusive statute of limitations for reports of sexual assault, sexual abuse, and other forms of sexual violence.

It is very common for victims of assault to not report the assault immediately after or even months after it happened. Julie understands that it is difficult to come forward and talk about assault and abuse but she has dedicated her legal career to helping others find their voice.

Even if the time period for you to seek criminal justice has passed, reporting it is important and may help others. If you have questions about your sexual abuse case, contact Julie A. Kays today.
