Clergy Sexual Abuse Attorneys in Phoenix

Seeking Justice for Victims of Sexual Assault by Religious Leaders & Volunteers

Unfortunately, the rate at which sexual abuse occurs within clergy, churches, and other religious organizations is startlingly high. Recent, high-profile cases—such as the exposé of rampant sexual abuse in the Catholic Church by The Boston Globe—have brought new light to this alarming issue.

In any religious organization, the church has a duty to properly supervise its clergy. When it fails to do so, or simply turns a blind eye to the actions of its religious leaders, sexual abuse can occur.

At Montoya, Lucero & Pastor, P.A., we have more than 60 years of legal experience standing up for the rights of injured and assaulted victims. If you or your child has suffered sexual abuse at the hands of a religious worker or volunteer, our Phoenix clergy sexual abuse attorneys can help you fight for justice.

What Are the Effects of Sexual Abuse?

All sexual violence and abuse can have serious, lifelong effects for victims. Clergy sexual abuse can be particularly scarring, as priests, pastors, and other religious workers and volunteers are often regarded with trust. Unfortunately, some clergy members use this trust to “groom” victims. The violation of this trust can severely compound the trauma of abuse.

All of these and other effects can make it extremely difficult for victims of clergy abuse to move forward with their lives. At Montoya, Lucero & Pastor, P.A., we thoroughly investigate the details of your case in order to determine who was negligent and which parties are at-fault. We then work to hold these parties accountable for their crimes and the harm they have caused.
