Re: KaiserDillon

sorry, I suggested no heavyweights. and said local only, I want a lawyer that has worked on the same side as ASU 40 not opposite. I have spoken to others re your situation.

can we find a jew. ? this opers=n that wrote you is a dope. of the first order. . = no need to be adversarial . to ASU. at all, =C24> YOU WILL LOSE if you are, guaranteed. !!!. 2. the =aw firm . already lost its case last time. . so .. 3. an=older woman lawyer. single practioner olk

Just had an hour consult with Justin Dillon of KaiserDillon, probably the premiere Title IX firm in the country (you can google all the work they have done). He is presently doing 2 cases at ASU, and it turns out he read physics of star trek when he was in college and is a big fan. He seemed excellent and knew just how the system works (and has already once forced ASU to end a suspension of a student because they violated his rights).

Anyway, we talked strategy etc, and I am confident if I went with a lawyer to keep me in my position at ASU they are the firm. They are not cheap though. $15K retainer, and he expected the full process would probably be between $50-100K.

Let me be blunt. Can you help? I have already lost over $100K in speaking engagements this year alone.

There is no one else I would ask so bluntly, nor anyone else I will be absolutely fine with whatever the answer is.

look at hi.. he says he has worked with ASU counsels=before.. is not adversarial.

I have a few =ocal suggestions but not sure..

Here =s from a law professor at ASU:

"One of the p=oblems in finding a top law firm in this town that can be adverse to ASU i= that ASU uses most of these firms, including those I have worked with40=A0or know people at and thus can recommend on personal expe=ience. For both for ethical and business reasons, however, these=firms can't or do not want to be adverse to ASU. The only firm that I =now something about that might be right for you and could take your case i= Martin & Bonnett http://www.martinbonnett.com/ http://www.martinbonnett.com/ I know them becau=e they represented a tenured ASU professor fired on what seemed to ma=y of us at the law school to be a trumped up charge of plagiarism. (She ha= plagiarized some material in her syllabus for which the university c=mmittee hearing hear case recommended a relatively light sanction. Cr=w rejected these findings and fired her. (The scuttlebutt was that she was=a major pain in the ass in her department and that was the real=C2teason she was fired.) My late colleague Joe Feller worked closely wi=h this firm and arranged for the AAUP to file an amicus brief which m=ny members of the law faculty, including me, signed. Crow was none to happ= about this, btw. My sense is that although the professor lost h=r case (courts are reluctant to intervene in these types of case=, Martin & Bonnett did a good job. So when my dean fire= a secretary assigned to me, Paul Bender, and several others (including an=ther former dean), Paul and I contacted the firm for some advice. If =ou would like my help to find a firm in another city, especially LA, = should be able to offer you more selection and a more definite and k=owledgeable recommendation. Jim "

p.s. he is bald so we can give =im a wig.

all sally, fat retired woman lives near=the school. knows evryone. . lets work this =ut attitude, not lets win. =it will come downt to how much over what period of time. . . =C2*
