Our client was sexually assaulted by her attorney, a well-known entertainment lawyer in New York City. The lawyer pleaded guilty to sexual assault, and we brought a civil case against him. After much litigation and work, the case was settled immediately before jury selection for a six-figure settlement. This helped our client pay her medical bills and get the psychological counseling she needed to begin her recovery process and heal from the trauma.This significant settlement is particularly noteworthy because the defendant had to pay the entire amount out of pocket—there was no insurance that could be used to cover the settlement.
