Sommers Schwartz Investigates Claims Against Father Eduard Perrone, Offers Support to Potential Abuse Survivors

​ [[{"value":"

Detroit, Michigan – High-profile Detroit law firm Sommers Schwartz, PC is currently investigating serious allegations against Father Eduard Perrone, a priest who served in the Detroit Archdiocese for 25 years. The well-established firm is also extending a supportive hand to potential survivors of abuse, assuring that they are not alone in their fight for justice.

In 2019, Father Perrone was suspended from pastoral services following an accusation of sexual abuse made by an individual who was a teenager at the time of the alleged misconduct. The accuser alleges that Father Perrone invited a group of underage boys to his lake house, where he reportedly wrestled and groped them. The initial report also included a particularly grave allegation—the victim claimed Father Perrone sodomized him.

The incident was subsequently referred to the Vatican for investigation. However, the Vatican ultimately decided not to pursue the matter. Despite the allegations, Father Perrone steadfastly maintained his innocence and has since been reinstated with limited restrictions.

Sommers Schwartz is now actively investigating these claims, committed to diligently seeking the truth and ensuring that those allegedly victimized receive the justice they deserve. The firm’s established track record in handling cases involving sexual abuse and institutional misconduct makes it uniquely qualified to support survivors and to successfully advocate for their rights.

At Sommers Schwartz, attorneys Lisa Esser-Weidenfeller, Matthew Curtis, and Jay Yasso are fighting to help survivors of sexual abuse. Together, they have recovered millions from high-profile predators such as Dr. Larry Nassar—Michigan State University and USAG team physician—and Dr. Robert Anderson, who sexually abused students, athletes, and other patients for over thirty-five years at the University of Michigan.
