Victims of sexual abuse need skilled legal representation immediately. Our sexual abuse attorneys in Chicago help survivors hold abusers and negligent institutions accountable. Sexual abuse is often committed by someone close to the victim, such as a family member, friend, coworker, or religious leader. Institutions can also create opportunities for predators to exploit trust, making legal guidance essential.
Holding Abusers and Institutions Accountable
Our attorneys handle cases against various religious institutions, including the Roman Catholic Church, Baptist Church, Episcopal Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and Jewish institutions. Additionally, we represent victims regardless of age or vulnerability, ensuring that abusers, supervisors, and organizations are held responsible.
Compassionate Support from Sexual Abuse Attorneys in Chicago
Seeking justice requires courage. At The Blake Horwitz Law Firm, our sexual abuse attorneys in Chicago listen carefully, provide guidance, and maintain confidentiality at every stage. We understand the emotional toll abuse takes and prioritize empathy while advocating for your legal rights.
Protecting Privacy and Pursuing Justice
Many survivors are concerned about privacy. Legal procedures allow filing under “John Doe” or “Jane Doe,” keeping identities confidential. Our attorneys have successfully handled high-profile cases, including an $8 million settlement against the Archdiocese of Chicago—the largest individual recovery in U.S. history for a priest sex abuse case.
Sometimes media attention can help pressure defendants to settle. Our attorneys have experience working with ABC, CBS, NBC, WGN, Univision, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, and Daily Herald. We always consult clients first to protect privacy while using media strategically.
