lawyers Domina and Audrea Kappert, produced settlement for the firm's
client, St John Lutheran Church of Seward, in a complex case.
In March and April, Domina and Kappert conducted careful, respectful discovery in
Doe v St John. The final discovery steps involved depositions taken from the teenage
victim who had alleged sexual assault by a former St John School official,
and her parents. Each deposition concluded with an acknowledgment that
Domina had not been offensive or hurtful during the depositions.
Settlement negotiations after the depositions were handled by Gary Nedved
Esq of Lincoln. Nedved was counsel in the case for the Lutheran Court
Missouri Synod, a national organization from St Louis MO. St John of Seward
has an association with the Synod. Domina Law Group attorney Audrea Kappert
extended "congratulations to the negotiators for resolving the case".
Kappert and Domina noted that "St John is committed to ministering
to its members; it hired us to handle the litigation and get it trial
ready, but not to be settlement counsel." Kappert said the firm "is
pleased the matter worked out, and happy to have been of assistance to
a church that could have been truly harmed had matters been handled less
sensitively."
