Thomas Herald and Donald Moore have experience in defending and prosecuting these types of cases.

We believe our experiece in working for the insurance companies has given us an insight into understanding how the insurance companies evaluate their cases that we use to help maximize the recoveries for our clients.
Rarely will organizations or people who are involved in a hazing incident admit that there was hazing. Afterall hazing is a crime in most states. Frequently, there is even a coverup, a Code of Silence, about the incident and the traditions of the organization. Often there is even an organized effort to protect not only the individuals involved, but also the organization. In fact, most fraternities and sororities have adopted rules that require their members and pledges to take an oath of secrecy and loyalty to the organization.

As a result of the Code of Silence, hazing cases are complex cases that require extensive investigation. Although the police and school authorities may be of great assistance in investigating these types of cases, often the police and even the schools are not equipped or experienced in handling a complex hazing case. The only way to discover the truth and to get justice is to investigate the case yourself, and usually with the help of an experienced attorney who is familiar with hazing cases.

If you or a family member have lost a loved one due to a hazing incident or a suspected hazing incident, we encourage you to take prompt action, to report the incident to the appropriate legal and school authorities, to investigate the matter with the assistance of an experienced attorney familiar with hazing cases, and to know what your rights are. Taking control of the situation and discoverying the truth surrounding the loss of your loved one is often a very helpful way to deal with your loss, and may help prevent others from suffering a similar loss in the future. Act Now. Know Your Rights. Stop Hazing Now.
