Victims of clergy abuse are being urged to come forward to file for restitution in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A newspaper ad printed recently stated that victims in the Milwaukee region need to file their claims before February 1st.
An archdiocese in the state is filing for bankruptcy next month and has a certain budget for clergy abuse victims. There is $10 million being set aside for victims that are able to show proof of clergy abuse at that diocese, whether current or in the past. A group of victims' rights advocates, including several pastors, are working with victims to help them get the money they need for counseling and other rehabilitative services.
The latest count of victims that have come forward is 100 but more are expected to file before the deadline. The ad will not only be printed in local newspapers but national papers as well to catch the attention of any victims that might not still be living in Wisconsin.
If you have been abused by a clergy member in your state of residence, take the time to contact the Zalkin Law Firm. Once contacted, you will have a chance to speak with a clergy abuse lawyer that can help you take appropriate legal action for your case.
