At Rape Victim Lawyers, we provide survivors across the UK with experienced, confidential legal support designed to protect your rights, respect your voice, and help you move forward.

We understand how difficult it can be to take that first step, and we’re here to guide you through it with compassion, discretion, and professionalism.

Whether you are seeking justice through the criminal courts, considering a civil claim for compensation, or simply exploring your options, our lawyers are here to stand with you.

How Can a Specialist Lawyer Help You Navigate a Sexual Assault Case?

Our team of specialist lawyers collaborates with survivors to prevent the legal system from retraumatizing them. We can assist you in securing protective measures, provide unwavering support during interviews, and clearly and compassionately explain your legal options.

If the Crown Prosecution Service is involved, we liaise with them to make sure your interests are represented clearly and sensitively.

What Legal Support Do Rape Victim Lawyers Provide to Survivors?

We provide tailored legal support for survivors, covering a range of essential services, including:

• Criminal proceedings – Legal representation through the police investigation and prosecution process.
• Civil claims – Support in pursuing compensation for physical, emotional, or financial harm.
• Protective orders – Assistance with securing injunctions or non-molestation orders to ensure safety.
• Police reporting support – Guidance on how to report an incident and prepare for interviews.
• Trauma-informed legal advice – Delivered by solicitors trained in working sensitively with survivors.
• Collaboration with support services – Working closely with charities, counsellors, and advocacy organisations to ensure well-rounded care.

How Much Does It Cost to Work With a Sexual Violence Lawyer?

The cost of working with a rape victim lawyer ranges from £0 to £1,500 or more, depending on the type of case and available funding options. Many survivors may not have to pay anything upfront if they are eligible for Legal Aid or if their case is taken on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Costs are primarily influenced by whether you’re pursuing a civil compensation claim, seeking protective orders, or engaging in criminal proceedings. Other factors include the complexity of the case, court involvement, and the level of legal representation required.

Are Rape Victim Legal Services Confidential and Trauma-Informed?

All services provided by Rape Victim Lawyers create a safe, non-judgemental space where you can speak freely and decide what action, if any, you’d like to take.

No decisions are made without your consent, and we’ll move at your pace throughout the process. Your privacy and well-being are our highest priorities. 

What Are Your Rights as a Survivor of Sexual Assault?

Rape Victim Lawyers ensure that survivors are fully informed of their legal rights, which include:

• The right to report the crime – You can report the assault to the police at any time, regardless of when it occurred.
• The right to access police support – You are entitled to a professional, trauma-informed response from law enforcement.
• The right to a fair investigation – Police and prosecutors must handle your case with respect, care, and impartiality.
• The right to pursue compensation – You may be eligible to seek financial redress through criminal injury or civil claims.
• The right to protection under the Victims’ Code – You are legally entitled to information, support, and updates throughout the process.
• The right to legal representation – If you make a claim or give evidence in court, you have the right to be legally represented and supported.

Can Lawyers Assist With Both Criminal and Civil Proceedings?

Our rape victim lawyer team is equipped to support you through both criminal proceedings, which aim to prosecute the offender, and civil claims, where you may seek financial compensation for the harm caused.

These processes are separate, and you can pursue one without the other. We’ll help you understand the pros and cons of each route and support you regardless of which path you choose to take.

What Compensation Can Rape Victims Claim Through Legal Action?

With our team of rape victim lawyers, survivors may be able to claim compensation through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) or through a civil court claim against the individual responsible.

Compensation can cover physical and emotional trauma, loss of earnings, counselling costs, and long-term effects on your life. Our lawyers will assess your situation sensitively and advise you on the most appropriate route based on your needs and circumstances.

What Should You Expect During Your First Consultation With a Rape Victim Lawyer?

Your first consultation with our rape victim lawyers is designed to be supportive, confidential, and entirely on your terms, which look like:

• A safe, judgement-free environment – You’ll be welcomed into a space where you can speak freely and comfortably.
• Listening without pressure – We’ll listen carefully to your concerns without rushing or requiring you to make decisions.
• Clear explanation of your rights – Our team will outline your legal rights and options in straightforward, compassionate language.
• No obligation to proceed – The consultation is informational, and you are not expected to move forward unless you’re ready.
• Confidentiality – Everything you share remains private and protected, in line with professional legal standards.
• Guidance on next steps – If you wish to continue, we’ll support you with any necessary applications, statements, or legal proceedings.

How Do Lawyers Support Victims Throughout the Legal Process?

At Rape Victim Lawyers, our role is not just to represent your legal interests but to offer reassurance, answer your questions, and reduce the emotional burden where possible.
