The Reality of Clergy Abuse

Clergy abuse is not just a physical violation; it's a betrayal of trust and faith. The people who commit these acts use their position to take advantage of those who look up to them. This can leave deep emotional and psychological scars on the victims, such as anxiety and PTSD.

We acknowledge the seriousness of this issue and the long-lasting impact it can have on lives, and work to recover compensation for it.

Legal Actions Against Abusers and Religious Institutions

Victims of clergy sexual abuse have the right to seek justice. This can mean filing a lawsuit against the individual abuser and sometimes the religious organization they are part of. These lawsuits can lead to compensation for the harm caused, which can help cover costs like therapy and other needs.

Our Role in Supporting You

LLN is here to help you through this difficult journey as a team of lawyers. We listen to your story, explain your legal options, and help you understand the best path forward. We approach each case with sensitivity, respecting your privacy and your experiences.

Filing a Lawsuit: Timing Matters

Act quickly and take legal action now. Statutes of limitations limit how long you have to file a lawsuit. These time limits can vary, so get legal advice as soon as possible.

The Process of a Lawsuit

Filing a lawsuit involves several steps. First, we gather all the necessary information and evidence. This includes your account of events, any relevant documents, and more. We then file the lawsuit on your behalf.

The accused will respond, and a period of negotiations may try to reach a settlement.

Confidentiality and Emotional Support

We understand how hard it can be to talk about these experiences. Everything you share with us is confidential. We are committed to supporting you in a way that respects your privacy and dignity.

Possible Outcomes

The outcome of a lawsuit can vary. Many victims receive financial compensation, which is meant to help with the emotional and financial burdens caused by the abuse. Sometimes, these cases also lead to changes in how religious organizations handle abuse allegations, helping protect others in the future.
