Reports indicate that almost 20,000 people nationwide have already reported being abused by a church priest or clergy member. And remember, those are just the cases that were actually reported. How many more people does this have to happen to? This must stop.

When you suffer in silence, it doesn’t just hurt you, it lets the predators get away with it. Senior church officials may have tried to cover up complaints, transfering clergy members to another parish, protecting abusive priests and coercing victims into silence. And, although they’ve fought to limit the amount of time victims have to file claims, the church has now paid out more than $3 billion to those affected. We are a plaintiffs firm who fight on behalf of innocent victims and children to obtain justice against the church.

There’s power in numbers. We are here to bring justice to abuse victims and we want to hear your story. We assure you your confidential teleconference will remain private even if you do not retain our services.

If you have suffered this horrendous trauma, you may be eligible for substantial compensation.

Justice at last.
Dozens of child sex abuse survivors watched as the Legislature — after more than 15 years — passed legislation Monday to make it easier for victims to seek justice as adults.

On the floor during the debate, four female lawmakers–new Sen. Alessandra Biaggi (D-Bronx), and Assembly members Yuh-Line Niou (D-Manhattan), Catalina Cruz (D-Queens), and Rodneyse Bichotte (D-Brooklyn) — recounted their own experiences of being sexually abused as kids.

Biaggi said she had remained silent for 25 years. She called it “unthinkable” that she would stand as a senator and speak about “something that I thought I would take to my grave.”

“Why on earth would anybody be opposed to this bill unless they have something to hide?” Biaggi said. “This is truly the least that we can do.”

Niou shook and cried as she recounted having been abused by a teacher when she was 13.

“I hope that people realize that this is not an attack on any institution, not attack on anybody else,” Nious said. “This is to protect victims. It’s to protect the children and it’s to help people feel a little whole again.”

Cruz, who said she was abused by a family member, thanked bill sponsors past and present for “never giving up in getting us justice.”
