Jeff Herman Case Study

Although he got his start soon after graduating from Case Western Reserve University of Law with a Juris Doctorate, Jeff herman didn't find what he refers to his calling until later on. A case involving a woman and her autistic son was referred to him. The young boy, only in preschool, had been sexually abused by an employee at the preschool which he attended. Overwhelmed with concern, Jeff took the case head on, not only holding the employee accountable, but also the school. Jeff discovered that the incident could have been avoided if the school had conducted a proper background check. Shortly after, Herman law was founded, and now specializes in aid for those who have been sexually abused.

Jeff Herman credits his success to having his own

investigations department composed of ex-law enforcement. He prides himself in his personal team's ability to decide fact from theory. He also notes that creating a visual map on large white boards and maintaining tunnel vision on the current case, also benefits his firm greatly. Jeff helps move his business forward by continuing to be a part of the community concerning those affected by sexual abuse. Some of his involvements include speaking to groups and leaders in the community and teaching continuing education classes which focus on sexual abuse cases. Herman notes that the most difficult part of dealing with type of cases his firm specializes in is remaining objective and being empathetic, not sympathetic.
Jeff notes the constant reminder that his son gives him to help others while also doing what you love. He recently purchased his eldest son a fishing pole. His son loves to fish and wakes every morning to do so, always donating his catch to the local food bank. Jeff Herman also recommends that you enjoy the journey to success more, and if he could tell his past self that, he would. One of his favorite reads, and the one he most recommends is “How To Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie, because it helps you to understand people better and why they do the things that they do.
