In addition to specializing in childhood sexual abuse litigation, the firm also offers legal services in employment matters, discrimination, intellectual property, significant personal injury, product liability, civil rights, consumer fraud, and unfair business practices. The firm has secured some of the largest plaintiff's jury verdicts and settlements in the tri-counties, as well as some of the most significant clergy abuse settlements in the United States. The firm was the first in the nation to obtain a pre-trial settlement in excess of one million dollars against a Catholic entity on behalf of a young man who had been sexually abused as a child by a Franciscan Friar. Nye, Stirling, Hale & Miller is also committed to actively protecting children from and preventing future acts of childhood sexual abuse by educating and informing the public as to the identities and practices of potentially dangerous religious and secular organizations and individuals. To that end, the firm served as lead counsel in court proceedings that resulted in two groundbreaking decisions in the Los Angeles Superior Court, which authorized the publication of information contained in priest personnel files.Throughout the years, the firm has represented hundreds of clients, distinguishing itself through its commitment to providing individualized service and commitment to vigorously pursue the rights of its clients in a broad range of legal matters.
