Why Do You Need a Lawyer?

We Secure Strong Evidence

Most abuse cases rely on careful documentation, records, and timelines, and we know exactly where to look. Our team works to gather and protect the evidence that strengthens your claim and exposes wrongdoing.

We Vocalize Your Story

Your experience deserves to be shared clearly and respectfully. Our sexual abuse attorneys help present your claim in a way that respects what you’ve lived through while supporting your pursuit of justice.

    FAQs About Claims Against Churches & Institutions

    How long do I have to file a church sexual abuse claim?

    Every state sets its own deadlines and statutes of limitations, and many have special extensions for survivors. A church sexual assault lawyer will tell you exactly how long you have based on where the abuse occurred.

    Can I keep my name private in a sexual abuse case?

    The answer is often yes. Courts often allow abuse victims to file without using their names, and we take extra steps to protect your privacy.

    Can I file a claim even if the abuse happened years ago?

    Yes, many survivors of sexual abuse come forward later in life. Several states allow older claims to move forward, especially those involving religious organizations and minors.

    Can I take action against the church as well as the abuser?

    If the church or a member of the clergy knew about the abuse or failed to protect you, you may be able to pursue a sexual misconduct claim against the institution itself.
