Achieving justice for a victim of Title IX (Complainant)

Our client, a Freshman Nursing major at a small Midwestern college, reached out to us for support after filing a Title IX complaint against a classmate who sexually assaulted her at a party. She was deeply troubled by the attack and faced ongoing fear for her safety. The firm immediately acted to ensure a no-contact order was in place to protect her from her attacker, whose legal representation was aggressively fighting the charges. From initial interview and lengthy investigation to the final hearing, we stood shoulder-to-shoulder with her through interview coaching and analysis of the investigator’s reports to reveal holes in the attacker’s story and expose his lies. We won the case and were successful in fighting the attacker’s appeal, resulting in a finding of guilt and sanctions that held him accountable.
