Being abused by a religious leader is a traumatic experience that can leave lasting scars. If you or a loved one has suffered clergy sexual abuse in New Jersey, it’s important to know that legal help is available. You may be entitled to seek compensation and hold the offender—and the institution that enabled them—accountable.
At our firm, we specialize in representing survivors of clergy abuse in NJ with compassion and confidentiality. We understand that coming forward takes courage, and we work closely with each client to ensure their voice is heard and respected.
Religious institutions have a duty to protect those under their care, especially children. When churches, dioceses, or affiliated organizations ignore complaints or fail to investigate abuse, they may be legally liable for the harm caused.
Survivors may file civil lawsuits to recover compensation for:
Therapy and counseling
Emotional pain and suffering
Medical care
Loss of earning capacity
Punitive damages for gross negligence
New Jersey has extended the time survivors have to file lawsuits, but it’s still crucial to act quickly to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
Our attorneys have helped survivors take legal action against Catholic dioceses, private religious schools, and other institutions across New Jersey. We work discreetly and fight tirelessly to help our clients reclaim their power and begin the process of healing.
