Defending Religious Organizations Facing Civil Action Throughout California

Religious organizations in California face unique legal challenges, particularly those involving allegations of sexual abuse or other civil matters. We can navigate the delicate nature of defending your organization’s reputation, rights, and resources. We deliver big firm talent and expertise with boutique personalization and rates.

At Trépanier Tajima LLP, our legal team has three decades of experience defending religious organizations. We litigate to win at trial or obtain a favorable settlement. But we also understand the sensitive nature of these cases, as well as the unique First Amendment and privilege issues.

We’ve obtained dismissals and favorable settlements in dozens of cases. We’ve secured restraining orders and vexatious litigant orders against individuals who harass religious organizations and their leaders. And we’ve protected religious organizations from intrusive and overbroad discovery of confidential religious files, including privileged penitential clergy communications. Learn more.
