Mr. Koffel’s client was indicted in Hocking County, Ohio on 11 counts from an alleged sexual assault. The case went to trial in 2023. The accuser claimed she was too intoxicated from alcohol and marijuana to consent. The jury returned a Not Guilty verdict on all 11 counts after deliberating for 1 hour. The State was represented by the Ohio Attorney General’s Office special victim’s unit. (State v. A.B., Hocking County, co-counsel Eric Willison).

Our client was accused by one of his daughters of raping her and fondling her from 4 th grade to 8 th grade. Two of his other daughters testified against him as well as his wife. Mr. Koffel exposed numerous lies, exaggerations and omissions during his cross examination of the alleged victim. Also, it was discovered during trial that the these daughters and their mother refer to themselves as “The Sisterhood”. A theme developed during the course of the trial that this was a conspiracy against the dad because the dad’s second extramarital affair had recently been exposed. “The Sisterhood” had a male enforcer (the mom’s new boyfriend) who came to court when the youngest daughter was preparing to testify for her dad and against “The Sisterhood”. Mr. Koffel had this man removed from the courtroom, served him with a subpoena then called him in to testify. He claimed he came to the courtroom to “see his mom”. Finally, our client waived his 5 th Amendment right to testify and took the stand. After closing arguments the judge instructed the jury on the law and sent them back to deliberate. Our client was found Not Guilty in just 35 minutes. (State v. J.D., represented by Brad Koffel and Eric Willison)
Our client was one of the IT employees of a publicly-traded company located
in Ohio. After our client was terminated, someone hacked into the corporation’s
servers and compromised the network and devices. Naturally, suspicion
fell on our client. He was eventually indicted. He maintained his innocence
all the way through trial. During the course of trial it was discovered
that the company kept a secret list of all the employees user names and
passwords on a spreadsheet which was denied by one of the executives of
the company. Our client was subsequently found “Not Guilty”.
