Our Results
Unanimous Jury Verdict – Demonstrating a mastery of complex, high-stakes litigation, NachtLaw secured a unanimous verdict following nearly two years of intensive litigation in a Michigan County Trial Court. The firm successfully navigated a dual-front legal battle, defending their client against false sexual assault allegations while simultaneously prosecuting a defamation claim against the accuser’s father for malicious online posts that devastated the client’s reputation and business. Through a rigorous process involving eight depositions, extensive motion practice, and a week of testimony, NachtLaw’s strategic approach led the jury to clear the client of all accusations and award exemplary damages. This victory underscores the firm’s dedication to protecting their clients’ well-being and their ability to deliver justice in the most challenging and sensitive legal environments.
Reinstated within 24 Hours of Suspension – Our Client was suspended from his college after a Complainant reported unwanted sexual contact. He was not informed where or when the touching occurred and was suspended from school without an opportunity to defend himself. We wrote the college and had him reinstated within 24 hours. He meaningfully defended himself with our help and will complete his academic program with nothing on his record.
Text Record that Vindicated Our Client – We represented a graduate student instructor who was accused of sexually assaulting a student. When he failed to commit to a relationship with her, she accused him of sexually assaulting her and violating a do not contact order. Our team combed a text record with over 6000 texts and found evidence of her requesting and consenting to each of the alleged events where she was assaulted. Our client was found not responsible.
Title IX Sexual Harassment Complaint – David Nacht won a sex harassment hearing for a 50-year-old female staff person resulting in the resignation of a dean at a midwestern public university. His client was a staff person who worked closely with the Dean. What makes the case particularly remarkable is that Nacht’s client felt too emotionally upset to participate, and Nacht won anyway. Sometimes, cross-examination can win a case– in hearings and in court.
Group Sex and Proof of Sobriety – Our clients, male student athletes, had been accused of sexually assaulting another student athlete after she met them at a party. She alleged that she drank too much to consent. She filed a Title IX complaint with the college and filed a personal protection order in court against our clients. Video footage we secured from the college and testimony from several witnesses on the night in question vindicated our clients. Her behavior in the footage showed that she was sober and could consent. Our Clients were found not responsible and defeated the personal protection order.
