Sexual abuse by clergy members is an abuse of trust that often leaves deep emotional scars. In Maryland, survivors of clergy abuse can take powerful legal action through the civil justice system. Whether your abuser was a priest, pastor, youth minister, or religious educator, you may have grounds to sue.
We represent individuals throughout Maryland who were sexually abused by religious leaders—helping them file confidential civil claims against the perpetrators and the institutions that allowed the abuse to occur. These lawsuits are designed to expose negligence, recover compensation, and help survivors begin to heal.
Who Can Be Held Responsible:
Priests, ministers, pastors, and other clergy
Church boards, dioceses, or administrators
Religious schools or institutions
Individuals who helped cover up the abuse
Survivors are often surprised to learn they can sue even if the criminal statute of limitations has passed.
Available Compensation May Include:
Cost of mental health treatment
Pain, suffering, and trauma recovery
Lost income or educational opportunity

Punitive damages for willful concealment of abuse
We help you pursue these claims while protecting your privacy and dignity.
