Union City Clergy Sexual Abuse Lawsuits: Your Rights After Institutional Cover-Up in California If you are reading this page, something happened to you or someone you love that was never supposed to happen — not in a church, not by a priest, not to a child. A man who was ten years old when a priest in Union City began abusing him recently told an Alameda County jury that the man who hurt him at ten still lives inside him at sixty-one. That is what this kind of damage does. It does not age out. It does not heal on its own. It stays. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We build cases against institutions that enabled, concealed, or failed to stop the sexual abuse of children. This page is for survivors in Union City, Alameda County, and across California who are wondering whether it is too late to come forward, whether the Diocese’s bankruptcy means there is no money left, and what happens when a jury is asked to put a number on fifty years of stolen silence. Everything here is legal information, not legal advice. But everything here is also the truth about what the law…

$16 Million Verdict in Union City: What It Means for Survivors of Clergy Sexual Abuse in California If you are reading this page, you may be carrying something you have never said out loud — or something you said once, to one person, and then buried again. What happened may have been decades ago, in a parish in Union City, in a rectory in Oakland, in a Catholic school anywhere across Alameda or Contra Costa County. You may have spent years telling yourself it was in the past, that it doesn’t matter now, that no one would believe you. And then you saw that a jury in Alameda County awarded $16 million to someone who went through what you went through — and a door you thought was nailed shut cracked open. We want you to know three things before you read any further. First, what happened to you was not your fault, and the institution that allowed it bears responsibility that does not fade with time.

Third, the Diocese of Oakland’s bankruptcy does not mean the door is…
