Clergy sexual abuse is a deep violation of faith and trust—inflicting lasting harm on survivors and undermining communities of worship. For too long, many churches and religious institutions in Georgia have shielded abusive clergy from accountability. If you or a loved one was sexually abused by a priest, pastor, bishop, or other religious figure, you are not alone—and legal options are available.
Our Georgia clergy sexual abuse law firm is committed to representing survivors in civil court. We help individuals who were abused in childhood or as adults take legal action not only against their abusers, but also against churches or institutions that enabled, covered up, or ignored the abuse.
Holding Institutions Accountable
It’s not just about one individual—it’s about systems that protected abusers. In many cases, churches:
Failed to report abuse to law enforcement
Reassigned known abusers to other parishes
Ignored repeated warnings or complaints
Silenced victims through threats or settlements
You have the right to file a civil lawsuit even if the criminal statute of limitations has passed. Our legal team can evaluate your case and help determine if you're eligible to take legal action under Georgia law.
Compensation May Include:
Costs for counseling and psychological care
Pain and suffering, both emotional and physical
Loss of income due to trauma or job disruption
Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence or cover-ups
