Nevada Clergy Sexual Abuse Lawyers

Clergy sexual abuse is a devastating betrayal of trust that leaves lifelong scars on survivors and their families. For decades, religious institutions, including the Catholic Church in Nevada, have concealed allegations of abuse, protected predators, and failed to protect vulnerable children in their care. If you or a loved one suffered abuse by a priest or other religious leader in Nevada, you have the right to demand justice, potentially through a Nevada clergy sexual abuse lawsuit. Our personal injury law firm is committed to holding the Church accountable for enabling these crimes.

Clergy Abuse in Nevada

Nevada, like many other states, has unfortunately seen numerous cases of clergy sexual abuse within the Catholic Church and its institutions. Abuse may have occurred within:

• Parishes and Dioceses
• Catholic Schools – both elementary and high schools run by the Church
• Youth Programs – Church camps, retreats, and more
• Charitable Organizations – including shelters, outreach programs, and more

The team at Phillips Law Group is currently investigating claims of Nevada clergy sexual abuse involving Catholic churches, as well as schools or other facilities run by the Church.

As just one example, in April 2019, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Reno released a list of 12 former northern Nevada priests who were  “credibly accused” of sexually abusing minors, according to The Reno Gazette-Journal. “All but one of the priests on the list are accused of sexually abusing minors in the state of Nevada,” the outlet reported at the time.

Too many of these sexual assault cases across the country involve decades of cover-ups, where Church leaders quietly moved abusive clergy members rather than reporting them to law enforcement. Survivors were often pressured into silence, dismissed, or even blamed for the abuse they endured.

Legal Rights for Survivors of Clergy Sexual Abuse

Nevada law provides legal options for survivors of clergy abuse, including civil lawsuits where survivors can seek financial compensation for trauma, medical expenses, lost quality of life, and more. Even if the abuser is deceased, survivors may still have legal recourse.

At Phillips Law Group, we understand the courage it takes to speak out against religious institutions that have caused so much harm. Our legal team approaches each case with compassion and confidentiality; our attorneys will listen to your story without judgment and are determined to protect your privacy.

Our firm will fight to expose the truth and hold your abuser accountable. We know how the Church operates and how to challenge its legal defenses, and Phillips Law Group has a record for success spanning more than 30 years in personal injury law.

I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

I am very impressed by how much care and effort this group puts into helping the homeless. That’s not something you see enough, especially in this time of increasing need for community. It’s important to me to work with companies that align with my views, and I would definitely go to Phillips for any future personal injury lawyer needs.

Just would like to share my experience with Phillips And Associates. Ever since my accident in the first of the year, it was a life changing event for me and I finally decided to go with a personal injury attorney. I contacted Phillips And Associates and they made me feel like I was an actual person instead of a lot of other firms try to go with me like a number, Phillips And Associates has reached out to me in a kind, courteous and caring way they fully understand on the circumstances of the accident So far, Phillips And Associates has been absolutely wonderful. I truly recommend going with Phillips And Associates. Thanks (RuthAnn), your the Best!!! And Thank you...
