Eisenberg Law Offices, S.C. in Madison, WI Announces Recent Case Victories and Award Settlements

June 11, 2010 -- Eisenberg Law Offices, S.C. recently settled a case in southern Wisconsin involving a repeated intentional sexual assault of a minor. Approximately three months before trial was scheduled to commence, Attorneys Stephen J. Eisenberg and Pam M. Baumgartner settled their minor client’s claim for $2.4 million. The settlement was the culmination of three years of diligent pursuit of an individual who groomed and sexually molested a 10-year-old child over a 16-month period. Eisenberg Law Offices, S.C. discovered the financial assets of the wrongdoer and obtained a sizeable settlement from the individual responsible for the molestation.

In January, 2010, a Grant County jury returned not guilty verdicts against a Grant County resident on three counts of first degree sexual assault, false imprisonment and strangulation. The client was represented by Stephen J. Eisenberg of Eisenberg Law Offices, S.C.

After a 2-day trial in Dane County Circuit Court, the jury was deadlocked at 11-1 not guilty. Jury verdicts in criminal cases must be unanimous. The judge declared a mistrial. Shortly thereafter, the State elected not to pursue another trial and the charge of first degree sexual assault of a child was dismissed.
