Our Experience. Rothstein Donatelli LLP is experienced in handling claims on behalf of survivors of clergy abuse. We have represented hundreds of clients in lawsuits against the Catholic Church, including cases against the Diocese of Santa Fe, the Diocese of El Paso, the Diocese of Las Cruces, the Diocese of Gallup, as well as claims against diocesan schools, nuns, and teachers in addition to clergy. We are well versed in the Church's bankruptcy tactics when faced with survivors seeing justice for sexual abuse.
Confidentiality. Many survivors of clergy sexual abuse carry the weight of what happened for years or even decades before they are ready to speak up. We understand that coming forward is extraordinarily difficult. No survivor should have to carry that burden alone. Holding the Church and other institutions accountable is not only about seeking justice for past harm, but also about protecting others, exposing systemic failures, and helping prevent future abuse. By coming forward, survivors can help bring truth into the open and force institutions to confront the misconduct that allowed abuse to continue. Rothstein Donatelli LLP approaches every survivor with compassion, confidentiality, and respect.
