If you have been sexually abused by a priest – or anyone else working in the Diocese of Albany – you may have a limited time to seek justice due to the recent passage of the Child Victims Act.

Contact us today at 954-641-2100 to learn more.
The Diocese of Albany has now filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Horowitz Law represents abuse survivors in this bankruptcy court proceeding. Sadly, it’s pretty safe to say that Diocese of Albany officials will spend a huge amount of parishioners’ donations to keep their assets and their secrets safe. They’ll use every available method to delay. Delays will add to the already immeasurable suffering these deeply wounded men and women have struggled with for years or even decades. That said, we will aggressively represent your interests in the Diocese of Albany bankruptcy.
It is very important that you contact us today to determine your legal options against the Diocese of Albany 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 schools, churches and 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 become 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, including Chapter 11 bankruptcies. Your safety and well-being are always our first priority.
