Perhaps as strong and enduring as any other effects on a survivor of abuse are the shame and guilt that can be overwhelming and debilitating, compounded by a resulting mistrust of others and avoidance of any acknowledgment or conversation concerning the abuse. We recognize how difficult and oftentimes frightening acknowledging the abuse and describing it can be. Be assured that any conversation about your situation with our firm is confidential. When we respond to an inquiry, we do so with the sensitivity, respect and the discretion necessary to provide meaningful feedback. If you prefer to speak with us directly regarding your incident, please call or send us a confidential email through the form on this page.
Trusted members of religious communities used their positions to abuse members of their congregations. Survivors of clergy abuse have suffered from the physical and emotional effects of this abuse. Legal recourse can offer victims financial compensation, as well as publicly expose abusers, potentially sparing future victims.
Abuse by people in positions of authority is not limited to the Catholic Church. These types of crimes have also happened within the Boy Scouts of America and other institutions. The repeated cover-ups and failures to investigate these crimes are proof that these institutions cannot be trusted to resolve the sexual abuses crises on their own.
We are helping to hold abusers accountable and provide relief and justice to survivors. Our attorneys specialize in representing victims of abuse, and will travel to you, wherever you are, to provide the counsel you need.
