It has come to light that an alarming number of Catholic priests and other clergies have abused thousands of children and young adults over the last several decades.  Recent developments in Pennsylvania and several other states have uncovered the practice of priests victimizing children in their charge impossible to ignore.  Many states are now realizing that victims of child sex abuse often deny their own past circumstances for decades. Often, child sex abuse victims try to block out the memories of abuse. As a result, victims may suffer due to self-medication, depression and even suicide. It can take victims decades to reach a point of coming to terms with the abuse in such a way that they are emotionally ready to face it and to file a lawsuit against their abuser. Our clergy abuse team is working to bring civil justice to those victimized by priests and other members of the clergy. We realize the delicate nature of this type of abuse and our team is trained to handle your case in a professional, compassionate and confidential manner.

The Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report:  In August 2018, the problem of clergy sex abuse was brought to the forefront. During this time the Pennsylvania Grand Jury showed a shocking number of priest abuse cases that went unreported by the church.  The Pennsylvania grand jury, which convened for two years, concluded that at least 300 priests had sexually abused more than 1,000 children and underage young people in a period spanning six decades.  Church documents revealed the church’s moral failure regarding hiding abuse.  The typical Catholic dioceses failed to “out” the abusers and protect the children in their charge.  Moreover, the jury found repeatedly that the church failed to dismiss and punish those accused by multiple eyewitnesses of sexual abuse.  We want to help abused people find justice. We look forward to speaking with you regarding a potential clergy abuse claim.
