Abuse in Churches, Schools & Youth Organizations

What survivors carry

Survivors of abuse in churches, schools, and youth organizations often describe a profound sense of betrayal. The people who harmed them were trusted — by the survivor, by their family, and by the community.

Many survivors were told to stay quiet, that it would hurt the community, or that they would not be believed. Some were told that what happened was their fault. None of that is true.

Institutions protect their reputation. Survivors deserve more.

Churches, schools, and youth organizations often have strong community ties, legal resources, and a deep interest in protecting their reputation. When harm occurs, the institutional response is frequently to minimize, deny, or shift blame.

Frank understands these dynamics. He builds cases that hold institutions — not just individuals — accountable for what happened.

Listening first. Building the case second.

The first conversation is confidential. You share what you are comfortable sharing. There is no pressure to tell the full story immediately, and no obligation to move forward.

Frank investigates the institution, looks at what they knew and when, and builds a case strategy that takes what happened to you seriously. You decide every step.

No attorney fee unless there is a recovery. If there is no recovery, you will not be responsible for case costs we advanced. You may be liable for the opposing party's fees and costs.
