San Jose Priest Abuse Attorney

Were you Abused by a Priest in the San Jose Area?

One of the most dreadful crimes that exists is when a trusted religious leader harms a child with sexual acts.  Sadly, there are many individuals who have been victimized in this manner.  Some victims are embarrassed or afraid to come forward, even though they have suffered physical and emotional damage from the crimes.  Many have suffered the effects of the abuse for years.  The emotional problems that result from abuse is well-documented.  If you or a loved one has been the victim of clergy abuse, it is important that you contact a San Jose clergy abuse attorney to advise you. 

Be aware that in current California law, you have until age 26 to make a claim for child abuse against the abuser.  However, there are some cases in which a lawsuit can be filed after that time, and at the Zalkin Law Firm the legal team can advise you how to move forward.

Some of the sexual acts that have been committed on children include intercourse, inappropriate touching, nudity or other sexual acts that are difficult to discuss.  The crucial matter is that those who have committed these acts, and possibly the Catholic diocese and Church that allowed it must take responsibility for the harm that was caused.  In some cases the Diocese had been aware of sexual abuse accusations against a priest, but moved the priest to a different location and failed to warn the parishioners of the danger to their children.
