We are writing to inform you that two organizations that advocate for the prevention of child sexual abuse and for the support of survivors of child sexual abuse – Vertigo Charitable Foundation, LLC (vcfhelp.org) and Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment (netgrace.org) -- have developed a confidential online survey that seeks feedback from abuse survivors to help measure the quality of legal representation they received when pursuing a civil cause of action against sexual offenders and/or the institutions that wrongfully protected them.
The purpose of the survey is to obtain reliable data to be used in determining whether survivors are receiving competent legal representation in their efforts to hold their perpetrators accountable under the civil justice system. We will publicize the results of the survey, which we then intend to incorporate into a comprehensive assessment of attorney performances that will contribute to making the justice system more transparent and protective of the fundamental legal rights of survivors.
If you filed a civil cause of action as described above, or if you consulted an attorney about filing such an action even if you did not actually file a claim, please complete the short survey.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
The confidential online survey can be accessed at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/survivorlegalrepsurvey.
