Madison County paid former employee Kristen Poshard and her attorneys $850,000 to settle a lawsuit alleging she was wrongfully terminated for resisting sexual harassment by former county board member Phil Chapman.
According to the settlement agreement obtained pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, Poshard received $100,000 for back wages and $402,894.44 for other losses. Poshard’s attorneys with Silverstein & Wolf LLC received $347,105.56 for fees and court costs.
Despite the settlement, the agreement states that defendants Kurt Prenzler, Doug Hulme, Phil Chapman and Madison County deny all allegations of wrongdoing.
Poshard voluntarily dismissed the case with prejudice on June 21 through attorney Ferne Wolf.
