The sources confirm that Acker's law office in Southfield was spray-painted with anti-Israel graffiti, but they date that attack to June 3, 2024, not fall 2024. The 'Orthodox Jewish neighborhood' detail is not addressed; sources describe Southfield only as a heavily Jewish suburb.
A detail. The sources confirm the gist; the verdict faults a detail such as a date, number or wording.
What was said
… some very anti-Semitic activities, not anti-Zionist, a difference, and I bring this point up because there are several board members who I serve with who are Zionist, who are not Jewish, who have not faced nearly the level of vitriol and attack that I have. So, in the fall of 2024, my office, which is in an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood, was spray painted in the middle of the night.

The Global Story · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. The office vandalism is dated to June 3, 2024 (early Monday morning), which conflicts with the claim's 'fall of 2024' timing.[2][3][4][5]
Supports. Multiple reports confirm the Goodman Acker law office in Southfield was spray-painted with pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel slogans in 2024, and Acker called it antisemitic.[1][3][4]
Context. Later fall-2024 and December incidents in the sources involve his home (window smashed, jar thrown) and his car, not the office.[2][6][7][8]
Context. No source addresses whether the office is in an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood; Jewish Insider describes Southfield only as a heavily Jewish suburb of Detroit.[4]
