Du Bare Legal Case: Sam Dubose's Case
Konrad Kircher, an attorney with Kircher Law Office, LLC, recently represented one of the children of Sam DuBose, an unarmed African-American man killed by a campus police officer during a routine traffic stop in 2015. The $4.85 million settlement will be divided among DuBose's children, parents, and siblings. Attorney Kircher has had his own firm in Mason, Ohio, since 1999 and is a respected lawyer in civil rights and wrongful death claims.
The Case: In July of last year, a University of Cincinnati police officer stopped DuBose, then 43, for a missing front license plate. When DuBose started his vehicle, the officer pulled a gun and fired a single fatal shot, killing DuBose. The case sparked outrage in a national climate where police brutality,
racial tensions, and law enforcement abuses of basic civil rights were at a boiling point. The police officer was summarily fired, indicted, and will face a criminal trial later this year. DuBose's family received a settlement from the University of Cincinnati.
The Settlement: The $4.85 million wrongful death settlement is to be split between DuBose's children, mother, father, and siblings. Each child will receive $217,816; his mother $90,000; his father $25,000; and $32,000 to each brother and sister. 19 attorneys represented many of the family members throughout multiple court hearings in which the division of the settlement was worked out.
Bringing Closure: Konrad Kircher of Kircher Law Office represented one of the DuBose children. "Everyone needs closure, everyone needs the healing," he told WKRC television. "I think this is the opportunity now, the judge set the right tone for that." Kircher has spent his career defending injured persons, wrongful death claims, sexual abuse cases, and civil rights violations.
