Clergy Abuse Attorney for Survivors of Clergy Abuse

Providing Legal Counsel and Assistance for Survivors of Clergy Abuse

According to the Catholic News Service, a study released by the John Jay College of Criminal Abuse completed in 2002 revealed that 4,392 priests or deacons were accused of sexual abuse between 1950 and 2002 in the United States. 81% of the victims were male and 50.9 % of the victims were between the ages of 11 and 14. This is not a pretty report and a difficult one to swallow. Fortunately, there is a way to fight back against such criminal behavior and that is with a clergy abuse attorney. At Franks LLC, we provide the legal counsel needed in such cases, and have experience in nearly 200 cases nationwide. If you or anyone you know has suffered the pain and humiliation of sexual or physical abuse from a priest, deacon, pastor or any other clergy or church member, a clergy abuse lawyer at our firm may be able to assist you.

Although the Catholic Church has received the majority of bad press for abuse, a June 16, 2007 article in the New York Times stated that the three companies that insure a majority of Protestant churches receive an average of 260 reports a year of children under 18 being abused by clergy, church staff members, volunteers, or members of the congregation. Church-related sexual abuse can come in any form, occur in any religion or denomination, and from any member of those groups.  Chad Franks has personally handled cases against numerous protestant entities, numerous religious orders, as well as several youth organizations and medical facilities.
