At Reinken Law Firm, we represent survivors of sexual abuse across Connecticut with compassion, discretion, and relentless advocacy. Sexual abuse causes deep emotional and psychological trauma, and survivors deserve justice, accountability, and a legal team that truly listens.
Led by Eric Reinken, our firm focuses on holding individuals, institutions, and organizations accountable for sexual misconduct, abuse, and exploitation. Whether the abuse occurred recently or years ago, you may still have legal options under Connecticut law.
We handle sexual abuse cases involving:
- Child sexual abuse
- Sexual assault and rape
- Abuse by clergy, educators, coaches, or caregivers
- Institutional abuse (schools, churches, youth organizations)
- Workplace sexual abuse or exploitation
Our role is not just legal representation—it’s advocacy during one of the most difficult periods of your life.
Compassionate & Confidential Legal Support
Sexual abuse cases require sensitivity, privacy, and trust. We take every step to protect our clients’ dignity while building strong, evidence-based claims. Our legal team manages all communication, investigation, and litigation so survivors can focus on healing.
Connecticut law provides extended time limits in many sexual abuse cases, especially those involving minors. Even if you believe too much time has passed, it is critical to speak with an attorney who understands the evolving statutes and survivor-focused legal protections.
Consultations are confidential, and you are never pressured to move forward unless you are ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
A sexual abuse lawyer helps survivors pursue civil claims against individuals or institutions responsible for abuse. This may include investigating the abuse, gathering evidence, filing lawsuits, negotiating settlements, and representing survivors in court. In Connecticut, these cases often focus on accountability, financial compensation, and justice for long-term emotional harm.
Yes. Connecticut law allows extended time limits for many sexual abuse cases, especially those involving child sexual abuse. In some situations, survivors may file claims decades later. Each case is different, so speaking with an experienced Connecticut sexual abuse attorney is the best way to understand your legal options.
Liability may extend beyond the abuser. Schools, churches, youth organizations, employers, camps, or other institutions may be held accountable if they failed to prevent abuse, ignored warning signs, or protected the abuser. A sexual abuse lawyer can identify all responsible parties.
Yes. Sexual abuse cases are handled with strict confidentiality. Attorneys take careful steps to protect survivors’ privacy, including the use of sealed records or anonymous filings when allowed by law. Confidential consultations allow survivors to explore options without obligation.
Compensation may include damages for emotional distress, therapy and counseling costs, medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. In cases involving institutional negligence, settlements or verdicts can be substantial, depending on the facts of the case.
Not always. Many sexual abuse cases resolve through settlements without survivors having to testify in court. If court involvement is required, your attorney prepares and supports you every step of the way, prioritizing your safety and well-being.
Most sexual abuse lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are no upfront costs. Legal fees are only paid if compensation is recovered. This allows survivors to seek justice without financial risk.
If you experienced sexual abuse and suffered emotional, psychological, or financial harm, you may have a valid claim—even if the abuse happened years ago. A confidential consultation with a Connecticut sexual abuse lawyer can help determine whether legal action is possible.
