Delivering Justice for Survivors of Clergy Sexual Abuse in California

FREE CASE REVIEW

Find out today if you are eligible for compensation.

Like many other clergy sexual abuse survivors, our clients Diana, Keith, and Stanley thought no one would believe their stories about what predators had done to them—the church was above reproach. They suffered in silence. But now there is a reason to speak up.

For a limited time, a new law revives legal claims of many adults who, as children, were sexually abused by clergy in California. Many survivors now have the opportunity to seek compensation and to hold their abusers and the church that protected predator priests accountable. We would welcome the opportunity to help you seek the justice you deserve.

Times is of the Essence

Contact the sexual abuse lawyers at Janet, Janet & Suggs (JJS) and Arias Sanguinetti Wang & Torrijos (ASWT) to find out if you are eligible to bring a claim for the torment you have endured, and are continuing to endure. It is important to act without delay, as the California window of opportunity is only open for a limited time.

File a Claim Now

We would welcome the opportunity to help you bring a timely and persuasive lawsuit, if this is the best choice for your case. Our goal is to help you achieve a full measure of justice and the peace of mind that goes along with it.

Many dioceses have established compensation funds from which survivors can be compensated, but they have been short-changing survivors with small settlement offers that are designed for people who can’t pursue a full-scale litigation. With the revival window, survivors now have the leverage to be compensated with the amounts they deserve.

Whatever avenue you want to pursue, we can help you present your claim in the most powerful way possible.
