Noteboom – The Law Firm obtained a jury verdict of $295 million on behalf of a twenty-year old woman whose stepfather had sexually abused her during childhood. The victim had been waiting to obtain justice for over a decade as she first reported the abuse when she was ten years old. The defendant faced criminal charges in 2015 and the case ended with a hung jury. The individual was eventually convicted, in 2018, for charges of injury to a child. Our firm helped the victim to pursue the matter in civil court. Attorney Brian Butcher was primary counsel on the case and Glenda Olsen, of our office, assisted with handling the matter.
Verdicts stemming from intentional acts such as sexual assault are generally non-dischargeable in bankruptcy. This means that the victim will be able to take collective action for as long as necessary to recover the amount due to her. Our firm has a track record of pursuing justice for the victims of such acts. This has included securing a $124 million verdict against the former pastor of a Fort Worth area church. If you have been the victim of such an offense then it is important to understand that you have rights. If you are in need of assistance then contact us online or by telephone to schedule an initial consultation. We look forward to speaking with you.
