Counsel working pro bono for a 16-year-old girl sexually assaulted at a local public library when she was 7 have secured a $750,000 verdict against her attacker, who is serving a 17-year prison sentence.
Sean Stokes of Hartford’s RisCassi & Davis, lead counsel on the case, said representing the victim pro bono was “a no-brainer” that his colleagues fully supported. “This was an opportunity to do what I chose to go to law school for,” Stokes said. “I’m lucky to be at RisCassi & Davis, which recognizes the good that we do and the importance of making sure people are compensated, even when there’s little to go after.”
