University of St. Thomas School of Law Prof. Hank Shea’s April 2 commentary, “Lawyers hold key to resolving bankruptcy issue,” was devoid of interest in putting survivors first. In a nutshell, Shea argued that the clergy sexual abuse case against the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis can get resolved if my attorney and other attorneys reduce their fees. Nothing could be further from the truth. I and the numerous survivors I have spoken with do not want anything more from our attorneys. We want the archdiocese to treat us fairly and accept responsibility for what it did.
