Attorney Alan Fassonaki and the team at Fassonaki Law Firm, P.C. resolved a case involving a student who was repeatedly bullied, harassed, and physically assaulted at the high school, securing a $25,000 settlement.
Facts of the Case
Our client was subjected to a series of traumatic events, including harassment, physical assaults, and bullying, despite reporting incidents to school officials. The school’s failure to take adequate action led to our client’s transfer to another school.

The case was settled successfully, compensating our client for the harm suffered and acknowledging the district’s responsibility to provide a safe learning environment.
