California Clergy Abuse Attorney

Sexual abuse by clergy members has received a lot of media attention recently and rightly so. In many cases, the abuse continued for decades and profoundly and negatively affected the lives of thousands of children. It is unconscionable that members of the clergy used the inherent trust and respect of their positions in their communities to leverage silence from their victims, but many did. They also used their positions as clergy to discredit the few victims who came forward and tried to warn others of the abuse. After all, a clergy member would never lie or commit unspeakable crimes against children, right? We all know that many did, and several of their victims in Southern California choose to consult with experienced Orange County clergy abuse lawyers such as those at the Law Offices of Samer Habbas.

Since one clergy abuse scandal after another has received wide attention in the press, we know now that the abuse continued for decades because church leaders ignored it. They knew that some members of the clergy were sexual predators, yet they turned a blind eye and allowed it to continue. If a clergy member’s abuses became too numerous to ignore, leaders moved the member to another church in another community where the cycle of abuse continued.

When children suffer years of sexual abuse from the very people entrusted to care for them and provide guidance and support, they suffer with a lifetime of guilt, sexual and emotional dysfunction and other problems that negatively affect their quality of life. The Los Angeles clergy abuse attorneys at the Law Offices of Samer Habbas are committed to helping victims of abuse by providing aggressive and effective legal counsel and representation.

While no settlement or damages awarded in a lawsuit can undo years of abuse, compensation can help pay for counseling that can help victims understand that the abuse was not their fault. This therapy is essential for healing the scars left by sexual predators and abuse and can help victims regain a sense of trust and control in their lives.
