A law firm out of Chicago is seeking out victims as it relates to the allegations against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis & WWE.

The Pintas & Mullins law firm in Chicago has launched a site at wwesettlements.com with a contact form for anyone that was “sexually assaulted, made to feel uncomfortable, or witnessed abuse by Vince McMahon or anyone from WWE/UFC” adding that they may be entitled to compensation.

The site includes the following statement:

Vince McMahon and WWE/UFC are under investigation for sexual assault and sex trafficking after former employees of WWE/UFC came forward with allegations of profoundly disturbing misconduct.

According to a recent lawsuit, the founder and other leaders forced employees to participate in sexual acts by threatening to terminate their employment and share intimate images of them.

This is not the first time Vince McMahon or WWE/UFC have faced accusations of sex abuse.

  • In 1992, Rita Chatterton, the first female referee, came forward with allegations that she was raped by Vince McMahon while traveling with him in his limousine.
  • In 2022, investigators seized documents and discovered nondisclosure agreements and multi-million dollar payouts covering up sexual misconduct.

Thousands of abuse victims are speaking up every year to receive the compensation and justice they deserve. Fill in the form above or call us today for a confidential and free conversation with one of our female attorneys.

The firm is offering a free claim review where victims can send their contact information and make it clear that all consultations are confidential.

The firm is run by attorneys William Pintas and Laura Mullins

Lawyers screw up everything. The best thing that can happen to Vince right now is for a bunch of random claims without evidence to start getting lumped in alongside the stuff that has been (or “can/will be”) proven.

It’s a tricky situation that can go either way.

I read a statistic once (can’t remember where) that in 92% of sexual assault accusations the victim is telling the truth. The issue with law firms like this doing what they are doing is they are now more likely to draw in the other 8% which sadly make life hell for the 92% when it comes to justice if those 8% get exposed. Everyone begins to be brought down.

On the flip side, this also may empower those who were victims to now speak out, and the more victims that speak out, the higher the probability at justice. Everyones cases begin to be elevated.

I think the key is how the law firm determines what cases they take vs dont take. At the same time, you don’t want to grill victims that come forward. It’s just such a tricky balancing act that I have no clue how to manage. Then when you add to it that the victims who got the worst of it very likely signed NDAs, and there is a whole other angle to this layered situation.
