Why File A Individual Claim vs. Participating In A Class Action
CLASS ACTION v. FILING YOUR INDIVIDUAL CLAIM
Don’t get caught with signing on to a class action lawsuit. Protect yourself and your claim. If you are considering filing a claim against an entity that employed your priest please contact Betti & Associates for a free consultation so we can explain to you the pitfalls of signing on to a class action lawsuit.
There is no need for you to assign your claim away to a class action.
You can file an individual claim in state or federal court and have your case heard there. You have the power to bring your perpetrator to justice. You also have the power to expose the entity or entities that knowingly employed your perpetrator and covered it up!
Know Your Rights Before Signing Them Away!
Please seek out the consultation of a qualified and experienced child sexual abuse attorney before signing up for a class action.
WHAT DOES A CLASS ACTION LOOK LIKE AND WHY YOU SHOULD NOT SIGN ON TO ONE?
A class action looks like this… one case is the lead case and your case just becomes a number in the class.
- Your case will not get heard.
- Your perpetrator will not be brought to justice
- The entity that employed your perpetrator will not get exposed for its gross negligence, its cover-up and its atrocities that it committed on you knowingly keeping your perpetrator in circulation to abuse you and other children for its own personally financial gain.
- Your perpetrator’s identity will continue to remain concealed and hidden.
- The entity that you and so many like you put their trust in will continue to believe that they are an upstanding organization.
- The value of your case will be nominal and your monetary justice will be diminished.
- All your pain and suffering you have endured for years will be disregarded and ignored.

Clergy Abuse
We can handle your child sexual abuse case in New York. Betti & Associates secured multiple settlements against the Roman Catholic Church. We have helped victims who were abused in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and forward. We can help you no matter how old you are.
Sexual Abusers can no longer hide behind delay, move and cover up tactics. Why your lawyers experience matters, in uncovering them and bringing them to justice!
You have been waiting for years, if not decades, to have your case heard. Please take this opportunity to finally get the justice you have so long been waiting for and is so well deserved against these entities that have consistently and routinely with malice aforethought attempted to silence you and keep you at any cost to you and your soul from attaining justice and peace through resolution.
With the persistent delay by these entities many of your friends, your classmates, your fellow altar boys have passed away due to the known tactics by these entities to delay and postpone the passing of the “One Year Window” Legislation known as the Child Victims Act of New York.
In fact, we secured the highest settlement for a teenager who was sexually abused by a Diocesan priest in the State of Hawaii.
When the reporting window opened in Hawaii, we were the first law firm to file against the Diocese of Honolulu, the Diocese of Buffalo and the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers aka Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America in the U.S. District Court of Hawaii.
Betti & Associates won its motion to compel July 2013 to search these archives Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers aka the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America in Ossining, New York, and the Diocese of Honolulu, Hawaii including documents relating to St. Anthony of Padua Church, St. Anthony Catholic School.. These archives are one of only three in the entire world to be searched by attorneys.
In inspecting the archives, Betti & Associates uncovered a pattern and practice and a history of abuse known to this Diocese and the Maryknoll religious order. But what was so compelling in our review was that the cover up of the abuse began as early as the 1940s and continues to occur to this day!

Boy Scouts leaders, Big Brothers to youth sports coaches and the volunteers who have access to our children are sometimes not properly screened or ignore reports of abuse which allows pedophiles and abusers to perpetuate their crimes.
