Proven verdicts and settlements at Taylor King Law

These results are credited to Taylor King Law. A result appears under an attorney's own name only when a published source names them as counsel on the case.

A Pulaski County jury awarded a 53-year-old woman $600,000 after finding a North Little Rock massage therapist and the spa that employed him liable for sexually assaulting her during a June 2024 appointment. Jurors held massage therapist Nikkolas Lee Huerta liable for $500,000 and Trinity Massage LLC liable for a separate $100,000 for negligent hiring and training. The woman had testified that the stress of the attack forced her to give up a 17-year nursing career. Circuit Judge Shawn Johnson presided over the one-day trial in Pulaski County Circuit Court, and the 12-member jury was unanimous even though Arkansas civil verdicts require only nine jurors to agree. No appeal of the civil judgment has been reported.
