OMG. What a sleazebag firm. I’m up against Jones Day in a federal civil case where they accused me of career ending impropriety. So they practice in a manner that coerces a win because of the futility of fighting against their home spun allegations. I wish more of us victims can bunch up and file a grievance against this firm. They all deserve demotions. I would also like to investigate their referral apparatus.

Jones Day is of the highest quality type of firm and if you are working with them, you can be assured that they follow the law and code of ethics to a tee.

What difference does this mean? AFter all, the people are still getting paid. I think this is all a bunch of hooey writing an article about this.
