Resources for Victims

The Victim Rights Law Center is the first law center in the nation dedicated solely to advocating for the civil legal needs of sexual assault survivors.  The VRLC provides direct legal representation to victims of rape and sexual assault in Massachusetts.  If you have been raped or sexually assaulted, we believe you have the right to make your own choices about how to respond to what has happened to you.  Our goal is to give sexual assault victims information regarding their civil legal needs to reclaim their lives.  Please review the VRLC's area of expertise.

"The Victim Rights Law Center changed the course of my life.  From the person who answers the phone, to the intern who helped me with my Christmas gifts, and of course, to the lawyers who have helped me, you are all amazing.  You gave me back control.  You gave me back control of my life.  You helped me go from victim to victor." - VRLC Client
