2. Proven Track Record in Hazing Litigation

We are currently litigating a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston for a student who suffered rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure after being subjected to:

• Waterboarding with a garden hose
• Forced to do 500+ squats and 100+ pushups
• Struck with wooden paddles

3. We Know How to Win Against Powerful Institutions

Universities, national fraternities, and sororities have deep pockets and aggressive legal teams. But we know their playbook—because both of our attorneys are former insurance defense lawyers.

We use this insider knowledge to:

• Expose cover-ups and institutional negligence
• Uncover hidden evidence (texts, social media, internal documents)
• Maximize compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and punitive damages

4. Compassionate, Aggressive Representation

We treat every client like family. Our Forest County hazing victims receive:

• Free, confidential consultations (call 1-888-ATTY-911)

If your child experienced any of these, they may have a case.

What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Forest County

If your child was hazed at a college or university near Forest County, PA, take these steps immediately:

2. Preserve evidence – Save texts, social media messages, photos, and videos.
3. Do NOT talk to the fraternity, sorority, or university alone – They may try to manipulate your child into signing away their rights.
