1993 when working as a reporter, Steve Boyd uncovered evidence of priest sexual abuse, launching the first large-scale priest sexual abuse scandal in the Diocese of Buffalo. As an attorney, Steve Boyd has represented tens of hundreds of survivors, handling 70% of the sexual abuse cases involving clergy from the Buffalo diocese and nearly 40% of those in Rochester, NY. Today, Steve is one of the leading sexual abuse lawyers in New York State and continues to fight against priest sexual abuse in multiple states. Nationwide, more than 17,000 survivors of Catholic clergy sexual abuse have filed complaints, and the U.S. Catholic Church has paid out at least $4 billion in settlements. Not only did these priests abuse their position of power in order to prey upon innocent youth, but the Catholic Church enabled ongoing abuse for decades by protecting predator priests. If a priest has abused you or a member of your family, you’ll need an experienced and compassionate attorney to fight for your rights and secure full compensation for your pain and suffering.
