For many, clergy members are spiritual guides and trusted community figures. But when that trust is shattered by sexual abuse, survivors often face a lifetime of emotional scars. Across Illinois, survivors of clergy sexual abuse are stepping forward to demand accountability—not only from the perpetrators, but from the institutions that enabled or concealed their crimes.
If you or a loved one has suffered abuse at the hands of a priest, pastor, youth minister, or another religious figure, our legal team is here to help. We represent survivors in civil lawsuits against clergy members, churches, dioceses, and other religious organizations across Illinois.
When Religious Institutions Can Be Sued:
Concealing allegations of sexual abuse
