Your Voice Matters. Your Story Matters.

Have You Been Sexually Abused By A Catholic Priest Of The Archdiocese Of San Francisco? We Can Help.

If you have been sexually abused by a Catholic priest in the Archdiocese of San Francisco you may have an opportunity to seek justice and compensation due to the passage of a temporary suspension of the California statute of limitations for anyone sexually abused by an employee of the Archdiocese of San Francisco. Horowitz Law is now evaluating legal claims for anyone sexually abused by anyone associated with the Archdiocese of San Francisco. Contact us today at 954-641-2100 or reach out online to learn more.

For a very limited time, anyone sexually abused by a priest or employee associated with the Archdiocese of San Francisco can file civil lawsuits seeking justice for a lifetime of hurt and shame caused by childhood sexual abuse.

A short “window” of time, as it is often called, will allow anyone sexually abused as a child in California to file lawsuits against their perpetrators and the institutions that protected and enabled the abusers, even if the statute of limitations had previously run out. The window is now open but will only be open for a very limited time. Once the window has expired, many clergy sexual abuse claims will be forever barred.

Therefore, it is very important that you contact us today to determine your legal options against the Archdiocese of San Francisco and anyone else who has hurt you.

Our lawyers are among the most experienced in the country in cases of clergy sexual abuse – and experience matters when bishops have the toughest lawyers in America working hard to protect their secrets.

Sexual abuse by any member of the clergy is an egregious breach of trust. Adam Horowitz is among the most experienced attorneys in the country in representing persons sexually abused by priests from the Catholic church and clergy of many other faiths. Since 2000, the lawyers of Horowitz Law have handled hundreds of clergy sexual abuse cases involving various religious institutions, including Roman Catholic dioceses and religious orders nationwide. These cases have arisen in religious school, churches/parishes, seminaries, religious counseling, retreats, schools and other activities sponsored by religious institutions.

In these cases, the lawyers of Horowitz Law have often prevailed on complex issues involving statutes of limitations, the First Amendment, and the discovery of “confidential” records that the Catholic Church has tried to conceal for nearly a century in some cases. In fighting these battles, our attorneys have became very familiar with the church’s unique hierarchy, record-keeping policies, terminology, and defense tactics, and are often called upon by colleagues to consult on these matters.

Most importantly, we have become familiar with the unique challenges and needs of survivors of clergy sexual abuse – and their families – during the legal process.  Your safety and well-being are always our first priority.

Through our own investigation, our team has identified 99 clergy in the Archdiocese of San Francisco who have been publicly accused of sexually abusing minors.

Truth is power. Through our own efforts, our lawyers have compiled what we believe is the most comprehensive list of priests, nuns and brothers accused of sexual abuse of minors who have worked in the Archdiocese of San Francisco, and the list is expected to grow as more survivors come forward to speak their truth.  So far, we have identified 99 clergy who worked in the Archdiocese of San Francisco who have been publicly accused of sexually abusing minors. In many cases, the men listed below were merely transferred from parish to parish after allegations arose, and left a long trail of victims across the Archdiocese of San Francisco.

The clergy we have identified are:
