Los Angeles, CA
Michael Tran has dedicated his legal career to representing survivors of childhood sexual abuse by Catholic clergy in California courts. His undergraduate concentration in religious studies gives him a unique understanding of the institutional dynamics and theological authority structures that enable clergy abuse and cover-up — knowledge he uses to build compelling negligence cases against diocesan leadership. Michael has filed over 200 cases under California's lookback window legislation (AB 218, extended through AB 250) and has extensive experience in the LA Archdiocese litigation context, which produced the historic $660 million settlement. He is currently accepting cases under California's active lookback window, which remains open through December 2027.
