When you are ready to reclaim your power and voice, you do not have to navigate the justice system alone. In this video, Ivanna Iwasykiw, an Associate and Sexual Abuse Lawyer at Jellinek Ellis Gluckstein Lawyers, explains your legal rights and how our dedicated team supports survivors every step of the way.

Many survivors believe they must file a police report or secure a criminal conviction before starting a civil lawsuit. In reality, you have the right to choose the path that feels best for you. Furthermore, in Ontario, there is no limitation period for sexual abuse claims. You can come forward to seek justice whenever you feel ready, even decades after the trauma occurred.

Holding organizations accountable can be complex. Ivanna breaks down the realities of institutional negligence, explaining what it takes to prove that a facility knew or should have known about the abuse. To guide you through these difficult legal challenges, Jellinek Ellis Gluckstein Lawyers uses a comprehensive, team-based approach. When you work with us, you gain access to dedicated clerks, social workers, and intake coordinators who ensure you receive the resources and compassionate care you need.
