Clergy Abuse / Plaintiff & Defense

Representing Plaintiff and Defense in Clergy Abuse Cases throughout East Central Illinois

Betrayed trust. Unfounded allegations. Tarnished reputations. Lives and souls in tatters.

Child molestation controversies continue within our nation's churches. Sexual abuse of children by clergy, real or imagined, continue to command the headlines.

We are Kennedy & Hensley in Champaign. Our statewide child sexual abuse and clergy abuse law practice handles cases from both plaintiff and defense points of view.

Both Daniel B. Kennedy and John B. Hensley have almost 60 years of combined experience in the legal profession — with almost 1,000 child abuse and neglect cases to their credit.

We listen carefully to your version of events. We thoroughly investigate your claim. We get to the bottom of what did or did not happen between a church officer and a child or group of children.

If you believe that your child has been harmed by a member of the clergy, we will work hard to hold the offender accountable.

If you are a clergyman who has been falsely accused of child sexual assault, we will aggressively protect your rights in any court in Illinois.

Contact Kennedy & Hensley today.

Experienced, Assertive, Supportive Representation for Almost 60 Years of Combined Experience

Traumatized victims of clergy abuse have come forward with "delayed memory" recollections of what happened to them. Accused priests have been sheltered by their parishes in elaborate cover-ups. Targets of false accusations have had their reputations ruined.

Sometimes it is difficult to know whom to believe: a child and his or her parents, or a priest, minister, or rabbi. Kennedy & Hensley gets at the truth and expose it in open court. Regardless of your perspective, whether you are facing your abuser or confronting your accuser, we can protect your rights.

Put our lawyers' decades of combined experience in your corner, starting today. Simply contact us to schedule an initial consultation. If you are located outside east central Illinois and unable to come to us, we will come to you.

We have the skilled, assertive, supportive legal representation you need — and the attentive personal service you deserve — at Kennedy & Hensley.
