Clergy Misconduct

Allegations of clergy sexual abuse are becoming a common occurrence throughout our country. Sexual abuse is a criminal offense. Clergy misconduct may affect children or adults.

Clergy sexual abuse within religious organizations has recently been brought into the forefront of today’s society as victims are stepping forward. d’Oliveira & Associates can advise you of your legal rights and help you cope during this sensitive time.

Clergy abuse is particularly troubling because of the cover-ups that have been attempted to hide and protect these horrific acts of abuse. Recently, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles reached a settlement of $660 million with 508 victims of that diocese.

Once you come forward, you will have the option to pursue a criminal and civil claim against your abuser. A state prosecutor would handle the criminal claim. The civil claim would be handled by the law firm you choose and the best outcome in that case would allow you to be compensated for physical and mental injuries, pain and suffering, and potentially compensated through putative damages.

If you feel you have been a victim of clergy abuse, please contact d’Oliveira & Associates for a free, confidential consultation about your legal rights. If we feel that our firm is not the most qualified to handle your particular case we will be happy to use our experience and know-how to help you find a lawyer that can provide you with the legal representation and dedication you deserve.
