In this episode of Keep It Legal, we sat down with Louisiana personal injury attorney Soren Gisleson of Herman Herman Katz to review details surrounding the many sexual abuse claims against the New Orleans Catholic Diocese.

The Archdiocese recently filed bankruptcy in an attempt to continue concealing the truth about what happened.
