Andrew Biren obtained a $345,000 settlement for a young woman in her 20’s who was sexually assaulted by a close family friend that she had known for years. After the criminal trial resulted in a hung jury and the defendant subsequently agreed to plea nolo contender to lesser offenses, the Plaintiff was ready to give up her civil case. After the Biren Law Group was retained, they conducted a thorough investigation which revealed that the defendant had a history of bad conduct, some of which directly contradicted the defendant’s testimony during the criminal trial. The case ultimately resolved during a contentious mediation after the defendant agreed to sell his house and use the money he received from the sale to compensate the Plaintiff.
