Re: KaiserDillon
yes in =rinciple. , need to do my homework on him . =tc.
sorry, i sugggested no =eavyweights. . and said local. only, I want a =awyeer that has worked on the same side as ASU not opposite. =nbsp; I have spoken to others re your situation
can we find a jew. ? this operson that wrote you is a =ope. of the first order. . 1 no need to =e adversarial . to ASU. at all, YOU WILL =OSE if you are, guaranteed. !!!. 2. the law firm . =lready lost its case last time.. so .. 3. an older =oman lawyer. single practioner olk
Just had an hour consult with Justin Dillon of KaiserDillon, =robably the premiere Title IX firm in the country (you can google all =he work they have done). He is presently doing 2 cases at ASU, =nd it turns out he read physics of star trek when he was in college and =s a big fan. He seemed excellent and knew just how the system =orks (and has already once forced ASU to end a suspension of a student =ecause they violated his rights).
Anyway, we talked strategy etc, and I =m confident if I went with a lawyer to keep me in my position at ASU =hey are the firm. They are not cheap though. $15K retainer, =nd he expected the full process would probably be between $50-100K. =nbsp;
Let me be blunt. Can you help? I have already =ost over $100K in speaking engagements this year alone. =nbsp;
There =s no one else I would ask so bluntly, nor anyone else I will be =bsolutely

look at hi.. he says he has worked with ASU counsels before.. =s not adversarial.
I have a few local suggestions but not =ure..
Here is from a law professor at ASU:
"One of the problems in finding a top =aw firm in this town that can be adverse to ASU is that ASU uses most =f these firms, including those I have worked =ith or know people at and thus can recommend on =ersonal experience. For both for ethical and business reasons, =owever, these firms can't or do not want to be adverse to ASU. The =nly firm that I know something about that might be right for you and =ould take your case is Martin & Bonnett http://www.martinbonnett.com/ I =now them because they represented a tenured ASU professor fired on =hat seemed to many of us at the law school to be a trumped up charge of =lagiarism. (She had plagiarized some material in her syllabus for =hich the university committee hearing hear case recommended a =elatively light sanction. Crow rejected these findings and fired =er. (The scuttlebutt was that she was a major pain in the ass in =er department and that was the real reason she was fired.) My =ate colleague Joe Feller worked closely with this firm and arranged for =he AAUP to
file an amicus brief which many members of the law =acuity, including me, signed. Crow was none to happy about this, btw. =y sense is that although the professor lost her case (courts =re reluctant to intervene in these types of case), =artin & Bonnett did a good job. So when my dean =ired a secretary assigned to me, Paul Bender, and several others =including another former dean), Paul and I contacted the firm for =ome advice. If you would like my help to find a firm in another =ity, especially LA, I should be able to offer you more =election and a more definite and knowledgeable recommendation. Jim =nbsp;"
p.s. =e is bald so we can give him a wig.
