New York Free Clergy Abuse Case Rev
Confidential Inquiry & Discussion
Perhaps as strong and enduring as any other effects on a survivor of abuse are the shame and guilt that can be overwhelming and debilitating, compounded by a resulting mistrust of others and avoidance of any acknowledgment or conversation concerning the abuse. We recognize how difficult and oftentimes frightening acknowledging the abuse and describing it can be. Be assured that any conversation about your situation with our firm is confidential. When we respond to an inquiry, we do so with the sensitivity, respect and the discretion necessary to provide meaningful feedback.
If you prefer to speak with us directly regarding your incident, please call at (888) 923-7001 or send us a confidential email through the form on this page.

My journey with Matthews & Associates, has been a very rewarding experience. Every time, I called them from the receptionist to the senior partners, to ask any question, they were always polite, kind, caring and most importantly helpful. Even if it did not pertain to my specific case, they still went above and beyond to help me. Nayelly, was the sweetest paralegal. She helped me through a very hard time. Her compassion and knowledge help me through a very rough week. I will definitely let everyone know how professional Matthews and Associates handled my case. If your looking for a Law Firm, that treats their clients in the manner they want to be treated, then this is the firm for you. Matthews & Associates, thank you for all your care. May God continue to bless you all. Again, Thank you. Donna Weisheit
