Have You Been Sexually Abused By A Catholic Priest Of The Diocese Of Gallup? We Can Help.

If you have been sexually abused by a priest – or anyone else working in the Diocese of Gallup – you may have a limited time to seek justice due to the recent passage of a new statute of limitations law that will allow anyone to file a lawsuit against the Diocese of Gallup for a very limited time. Horowitz Law is now evaluating legal claims for anyone sexually abused by a priest, brother, nun, teacher, coach, or other lay employee of the Diocese of Gallup. Contact us today at 954-641-2100 or reach out online to learn more.

For a limited time, anyone harmed by an employee of the Diocese of Gallup in Arizona can file civil lawsuits seeking justice for the lifetime of hurt and shame that is caused by childhood sexual abuse.

Due to the recent passage of a new statute of limitations law in 2019, anyone sexually abused as a child in the Diocese of Gallup in the state of Arizona can file a lawsuit against the Diocese for the harm they suffered.

For a short time, a “window” as it is often called, will allow anyone sexually abused as a child in Arizona to file lawsuits against their perpetrators and the institutions that protected and enabled the abusers, even if the statute of limitations had previously run out on your case. That second-chance window is now open, but will only be open for a very limited time so it is important that you act now to discuss your legal options.

Once the window has expired, many clergy sexual abuse claims will be forever time-barred, meaning you can never take action again. Therefore, it is very important that you contact us today to determine your legal options against the Diocese of Gallup and anyone else who has hurt you.

Our lawyers are among the most experienced in the country in cases of clergy sexual abuse – and experience matters when bishops have the toughest lawyers in America working hard to protect their secrets.

Sexual abuse by any member of the clergy is an egregious breach of trust. 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, the lawyers of Horowitz Law have handled hundreds of clergy sexual abuse cases involving various religious institutions, including Roman Catholic dioceses and religious orders nationwide. These cases have arisen in religious school, churches/parishes, seminaries, religious counseling, retreats, schools and other activities sponsored by religious institutions.

In these cases, the lawyers of Horowitz Law have often prevailed on complex issues involving statutes of limitations, the First Amendment, and the discovery of “confidential” records that the Catholic Church has tried to conceal for nearly a century in some cases. In fighting these battles, our attorneys have become very familiar with the church’s unique hierarchy, record-keeping policies, terminology, and defense tactics, and are often called upon by colleagues to consult on these matters.

Most importantly, we have become familiar with the unique challenges and needs of survivors of clergy sexual abuse – and their families – during the legal process. Your safety and well-being are always our first priority.
