Providing Legal Support for Victims of Clergy Abuse
Members of the clergy are revered and trusted individuals. Yet, the news is full of stories about priests who sexually abuse children or deacons who commit sex crimes against vulnerable adults. If you suspect that your child or another child was abused by a clergy member, it is important to act now to protect the child and other children from future abuse. If you were abused by a clergy member as a child, today is the day to step forward.
At The Mukerji Law Firm, P.C., in Houston, Texas, we are passionate about helping children and their families recover after clergy abuse. Attorney Sam Mukerji works hard to hold responsible priests, pastors, deacons, church elders and other members of the clergy financially responsible for their predatory actions.
Church should be a safe environment for children and vulnerable adults. When it is not, we fight aggressively to hold abusive clergy and sexual predators accountable. Contact our firm by calling 888-890-7290.
In the Catholic Church alone, hundreds of pedophile priests have been accused of sexually molesting children. Abusive clergy from all denominations prey on boys, girls and vulnerable adults. Even church camp counselors and youth pastors have been convicted of child abuse. Our law firm brings personal injury claims against the abuser as well as the church or camp if they turned a blind eye to the abuse.
When Clergy Physically or Emotionally Abuse Children
Clergy abuse is not always sexual abuse. Children may also be physically abused in other ways (such as corporal punishment) or emotionally abused (such as emotional harassment) by trusted members of their church. We can help you and your family recover financial compensation for any type of clergy abuse.
Why Should You Tell Your Story?
Whether you or your child was the victim of sexual abuse by clergy or another form of clergy abuse, now is the time to speak up. You may be able to:
- Recover compensation for therapy, physical injuries, pain and suffering and more
- Prevent future abuse by the same clergy member
- Prevent future abuse and cover-ups by your church
