Rabbi Sexual Abuse Attorney in New York

Have you been sexually abused by a member of the Jewish or Jewish Orthodox Community?

Sexual abuse occurs in many communities and institutions throughout the United States.  Abusive individuals who prey on children, adolescents and young adults can be found in any setting or religious group or denomination.  Recently, light has been shed on acts of sexual abuse perpetrated by rabbis, spiritual teachers and other leaders in the Jewish faith. 

Reports of abuse, complaints against rabbis, teachers, mentors and other authority figures in the Jewish community have reportedly gone ignored or unnoticed in previous years.  With recent media and public attention on sexual molestation, abuse and inappropriate behavior in religious institutions and groups, many survivors and their families have made the decision to come forward with their own stories of illegal and immoral sexual abuse.

Jewish Orthodox Community Sexual Abuse Lawyer

At the Zalkin Law Firm, it is our mission to provide legal representation and assistance to survivors of sexual abuse throughout the country.  If you have been abused by a rabbi or other member of the Jewish faith, orthodox or otherwise, you do have legal rights and you can receive the help and support that you need.  We understand that it can be very difficult to relate your story even if it occurred many years in the past.  That is why we are dedicated to providing a safe, welcoming environment in which you and your family are protected and supported throughout the process. 

Children and adults who have suffered sexual abuse often feel emotions such as shame, regret, embarrassment and anger as a direct result of their experiences.  Many times, these thoughts and feelings can inhibit a person from going to parents, authorities or other individuals who could offer help and assistance.  We at the Zalkin Law Firm encourage and support those survivors who have been able to come forward and we want to help others who have similar situations.

If you or a loved one has been sexually abused by a member of the Jewish community, please contact a New York Sexual Abuse Attorney at the Zalkin Law Firm.  We can help you.
