I have been working on a sex abuse case for the last 15 months. The case was set to go to trial December 15th. With alot of solid evidence, the best attorneys in town and a determined client we powered forward toward the trial date. Sometimes a trial is not the best outcome for a client, today I am happy to report that the client was able to settle the claim which was the best possible outcome.
This case was particularly important to me. I was able to obtain evidence that showed the parties involved knew they had a predator in their church. A Church where they protected the perp and harmed the children. Because this brave young person was willing to come forward the church has been held accountable.
This case was a good example of digging up the dirt. I knocked on a lot of doors, ran into a lot of dead ends but ultimately I would not give up. A good investigator can make a case for the client. In this instance I can be proud of my work but mostly I am proud of the client for showing the courage pursue this case.
