Leyza, Leyza, Leyza!!
So a birdie who also happens to possess superb legal skills has advised that it's time for Leyza to finally leave the boardroom and face the music -- the "extremely Floridian" GrayRobinson was officially canned as receiver in connection with the Sun Capital brouhaha.
Order forthcoming, I understand.
In unrelated news, did you see this suit over law firms allegedly marking up legal research "costs":
Hmm, never heard of such a thing.A California plaintiffs attorney has filed a lawsuit against a New York-based law firm on behalf of a former client of the firm for what she claims is a hidden but widespread practice within the legal profession: law firms secretly profiting off legal research fees by overcharging clients.
Consumer protection attorney Patricia Meyer filed a suit against New York's Chadbourne & Parke on March 2 for allegedly overcharging J. Virgil Waggoner, a Texas businessman, by several thousands of dollars for computerized legal research. His bill was roughly $20,000 for the research, she said, but it should have been closer to $5,000. Waggoner v. Chadbourne & Parke, No. BC408693 (Los Angeles Co., Calif., Super. Ct.).
That does remind me, though, I need to speak with Catherine about some billing issues.
