Clergy sexual abuse is a profound betrayal of trust. Many survivors in Maryland have suffered in silence for years—often discouraged by religious institutions or family members from speaking out. But you are not alone, and the law gives you the right to take civil action.
Our Maryland clergy abuse attorneys represent survivors in confidential, survivor-centered legal proceedings. These civil lawsuits are powerful tools to secure justice, hold institutions accountable, and obtain compensation for the trauma endured.
Institutions May Be Liable If They:
Knew about prior abuse but took no action
Transferred abusers to different locations
Pressured victims into silence
Failed to screen clergy appropriately
Did not implement safety and reporting protocols
We are prepared to hold these institutions accountable for the harm caused and their failure to protect.
What You May Recover:
Emotional distress and psychological treatment costs
Lost wages or economic opportunities
Medical and therapeutic care
Pain and suffering
Punitive damages against churches or dioceses that enabled abuse
