For many, places of worship are meant to be havens of safety and guidance. But for others, these same spaces became scenes of betrayal when religious leaders violated trust through acts of sexual abuse. Survivors of clergy abuse in Maryland have the right to hold both the abuser and the institution accountable through civil legal action.
Our attorneys are committed to helping survivors seek justice through civil lawsuits that expose wrongdoing and provide financial compensation. We represent individuals across Maryland who were abused by priests, pastors, ministers, or other faith leaders, regardless of when the abuse occurred.
Legal Grounds for a Civil Claim:
You may be able to file a lawsuit if:
You were sexually abused by a clergy member
Church leaders or institutions concealed allegations
Your abuser was transferred instead of removed
Your complaints were ignored or dismissed
The institution failed to implement protections
Even if the abuse occurred years or decades ago, Maryland’s civil law may still allow you to pursue justice.
What Civil Compensation Can Include:
Psychological therapy and trauma recovery
Pain and suffering
Lost wages or educational opportunities
Long-term medical and emotional care
Punitive damages against institutions that covered up abuse
Every survivor’s story matters. Our team is committed to honoring that story while pursuing full and fair compensation.
Why Survivors Work With Us:
Deep experience in clergy and institutional abuse litigation
Survivor-focused, trauma-informed legal support
No legal fees unless we recover compensation
Confidential consultations with a compassionate legal team
You deserve justice. We are here to fight for it.
