Sexual Abuse Lawyers
The sexual abuse lawyers at Burke & Eisner represent individuals – adults and children – who have been sexually victimized at the hands of their trusted priests and clergy members. In recent years, the Catholic Church has been scandalized by thousands of reports of sexual abuse. A significant number of these individuals are now well into adulthood, but the memories of their trauma persist. What these victims lost is their innocence and that can never be replaced.
However, victims can seek justice against their perpetrator, and many victims have been able to recover monetary compensation for their mental anguish and suffering. Our sexual abuse lawyers can help you seek justice if you have been sexually abused by a priest or clergy member. We offer free, confidential consultations. We’ll be glad to hear your side of the story and inform you of your legal rights.
Do You Have a Claim?
Only experienced sexual abuse lawyers can determine whether or not you have a viable claim. However, sexual abuse takes many forms and you may wish to talk to a sexual abuse lawyer if, as a child, a priest or clergy member:
- Touched or fondled your genitals (or made you touch his)
- Forced you to perform oral sex (or did so on you)
- Showed you his genitals
- Took pornographic or inappropriate photos of you
- Showed you pornographic materials
- Forced you to engage in vaginal or anal intercourse
Children are particularly vulnerable to abuse by adults whom they trust and whom they regard as exerting power over them. The damages suffered by victims of sexual abuse include severe emotional trauma, which they often battle for the rest of their lives.
While no amount of money can bring back the innocence lost, perpetrators of sexual abuse can be brought to justice. In fact, sexual abuse lawyers across the United States have helped victims hold their perpetrators accountable and obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation along the way.
