Catholic Church & Other Religious Organizations – The Clergy Abuse Lawyers

The lawyers at Horowitz Law have been representing survivors of clergy abuse for over twenty years. In cases across the country and in almost every state, our lawyers advocate for sexual abuse victims by priests and other clergy,

Sexual abuse by a member of the clergy is a breach of trust at the highest level.   Adam Horowitz is among the most experienced attorneys in the country in representing persons sexually abused by priests from the Catholic church and clergy of many other faiths.  Since 2000, Horowitz Law has handled hundreds of clergy sexual abuse cases involving various religious institutions, including the Roman Catholic Church, the Baptist Church, the Episcopal Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons), Judaism, and Jehovah’s Witness.  These cases have incidents in religious school, churches/parishes, seminaries, religious counseling, retreats, schools and other activities sponsored by religious institutions.  Our clients are religious school students, altar boys, and parishioners and congregants of all ages.

Horowitz Law has prevailed on complex issues in clergy abuse cases involving statute of limitations, the First Amendment, and discovery of “confidential” records that the Catholic Church tried to conceal for decades.  In fighting these battles, Adam Horowitz became familiar with the church’s unique hierarchy, record-keeping policies, terminology, and defense tactics.  Most importantly, we have become familiar with the unique pain experienced by survivors of clergy sexual abuse.
