When harm wears robes of holiness, it’s difficult to name, and even harder to prosecute. 

For many survivors of religious abuse, the idea of seeking legal counsel feels almost transgressive – as though advocating for yourself somehow proves your lack of forgiveness or spiritual immaturity. This lie has kept countless survivors silent, and it’s time we unlearn it.

Justice is not vengeance. It’s restoration. Finding the right lawyer is not about winning a fight, but protecting the child within who never had the chance to make a choice. Stories finally being heard and facts considered, without prejudice or dismissal. 

This space connects survivors with lawyers who are more than legal experts – trauma-informed advocates trained not only in law, but listening. These are professionals who understand when someone says, “God will handle it,” they’re often trying to prevent any from pursuing justice their systems were built to avoid.

While legal action may not be for everyone, understanding your rights, knowing the options, and sitting across from someone who sees your trauma as valid, even actionable – can be healing in itself.

We don’t promise easy outcomes. That written, you will not be asked to explain your pain in theological terms nor met with spiritual clichés. Never again will you be told that suffering is sanctified. 

Finding the right legal ally is an act of reclamation. Refuse to accept abuse as “Discipleship” ever again.
