Child Abuse Claims Pose Serious Risks to Your Organization
Accusations of child abuse can be devastating for schools, churches, and nonprofits—disrupting your mission, tarnishing your reputation, and draining your resources. Child abuse claims often involve:
Allegations from parents, children, or third parties that may hold your organization liable for the actions of staff or volunteers
The complex balance of protecting your institution and taking appropriate steps to support the victim if abuse has occurred.

For more than 40 years of recommending nonprofits to Gammon & Grange, especially churches and faith-based organizations, not one has reported any concerns. They have a mid-size firm with some specialization that is very client-oriented. Couldn't speak more highly of their attorneys.

They negotiated a larger settlement than I expected by at least triple the amount… Thanks again to Bob for all the good advice during that time… I did recommend you guys already because I think you’re from the old school… You care about how you're getting it done and the people you’re serving.

I have known Chip Grange for almost ten years. I find him to have a great balance of humility and assertiveness in speaking to issues and to be extremely knowledgeable in many topics. He is a great listener, leader and friend to me, our church, and many non-profit organizations that need his expertise.
Michael Winn
I’m so grateful for the expertise and counsel of G&G's Derek Gaubitz. He has provided timely, professional, and constructive solutions for incorporating our religious school as a tax-exempt non-profit, reviewing and drafting employment contracts, and helping us form as a faith-based ministry. His trustworthy guidance has been critical to our launch.
