Sacramento clergy abuse is extremely traumatic. You or a loved one may still be suffering the psychological effects of childhood sexual abuse. You are not alone. We can help you bring a perpetrator to justice, hold a church accountable and go up against the Diocese of Sacramento, if appropriate.

If you or a loved one has experienced this terrible crime, you have options. You may be able to file a personal injury civil claim if you are within the statute of limitations. California law gives childhood sex abuse survivors 8 years from the age of majority (26 years old) or 3 years from when the survivor discovered the abuse. If you have passed your time limit, you may still be entitled to a portion of the Independent Compensation Fund. Our experienced attorneys can assist you with the claims process to optimize your results.
