Kyle Nocho ’07 Helps Secure Large Settlement for Abused Sisters

Attorney Kyle Nocho ’07, along with a colleague at Kline & Specter, made October headlines in The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Legal Intelligencer, when they secured a $10.6 million settlement for three sisters. A Philadelphia child placement agency and  residential care facility reunited the girls with their father, who then sexually and physically abused them. The girls, ages 9 to 14 at the time, were placed with him despite his lack of stable housing or employment; he was also facing outstanding sexual  assault charges at the time. Now convicted of abusing his daughters, he is serving a minimum of 37 years in prison. Kyle focuses his practice mainly on child sexual abuse and human trafficking cases. “Working on child sex abuse cases,” he said, “gives me  the chance to make a difference in children’s lives by getting them the justice they deserve and by helping to make institutional changes to organizations’ behavior to prevent this type of abuse from happening to other children.” Kyle graduated cum laude from Georgetown University and from the Thomas R. Kline School of Law at Drexel University. Kyle’s mother, Debra Hammock-Nocho, who tipped MFS off about Kyle’s achievement, said that “MFS helped shape who he is today.”
