Our Approach

Survivor-Centred Legal Representation

Cross & York LLC is a legal practice specialising in civil claims for survivors of abuse within religious institutions. The firm operates from Washington, DC and handles matters across multiple states.

We focus on several claim categories: direct clergy abuse by religious leaders, institutional negligence by churches and organisations, faith-based school abuse cases, church camp and youth group incidents, bankruptcy trust claims for dioceses in Chapter 11, and multi-state and historical abuse claims.

We listen, we explain what may be possible, and we allow survivors to make informed decisions without pressure or guaranteed outcomes.

Key Principles

  • Confidential handling of all enquiries
  • Plain-language explanations — no legal jargon
  • You remain in control throughout the process
  • Contingency-basis — no fees unless compensation is recovered
  • No obligation from initial consultation
