You should state the name of the firm and the lawyers on the papers. The language is the lawyerâs, not the clientâs.

Local boy makes trouble: Outspoken lawyer for Russian firm indicted in Mueller probe has New Orleans roots
Local boy makes trouble: Outspoken lawyer for Russian firm indicted in Mueller probe has New Orleans roots
Attorney Eric Dubelier drew national headlines last week for his feisty courtroom advocacy on behalf of a Russian firm under indictment as part of special counsel Robert Muellerâs probe into possible U.S. election tampering.
But for half of his 37-year career, Dubelier was a prosecutor, starting out in New Orleans under former District Attorney Harry Connick Sr.
And as an assistant district attorney under Connick from 1981 to 1987, the Tulane University graduate had a hand in some controversial cases.
In 1985, Dubelier prosecuted former Tulane basketball star John âHot Rodâ Williams over a point-shaving scandal that led the university to shut down the Green Wave basketball program for years.
The judge ordered a mistrial on the second day of testimony, blaming Dubelier for failing to turn over a videotaped confession by another player, according to news accounts at the time. Williams was later acquitted in a retrial.
Dubelier, now 62, was married briefly to Connickâs niece. He also played a key role in a case that featured perhaps the most infamous episode of prosecutorial misconduct in New Orleans in a generation.
There is more sordid details, heâs apparently quite a handfulâŚ
I donât think weâre dealing with a firm full of Atticus Finches here.
Agree the lawyers should be named, but the statements are attributable to the clients as well. The lawyers are speaking on behalf of their clients.
Central casting?
Its executive, Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin (pictured above), a Kremlin-aligned oligarch known as Putinâs chef, was also charged by Mueller in February but has not submitted to the courtâs jurisdiction.
REAMED! Not admonished, REAMED!
âThere appears to be some bias,â he told the judge
I am not a lawyer, but Iâm pretty sure saying this to a judge who is presiding over your case is a bad idea. Even if it happened to be true.
The accusation is Putinesque/Trumpesque!
A few more Animal House quotes should do the trick.
Here is some background on Eric Dubelier:
These must be Trump lawyers. Theyâve never heard of âcontempt of courtâ?
Thatâs it, boys, antagonize the person who can throw you in jail.
Presumably theyâre creating the basis for an appeal. Is there a russia-friendly judge at the next level that theyâre hoping to draw?
Itâs Reed Smith. Theyâre better than this as a firm, and Iâm sure some of this toolâs partners are mightily pissed/ embarrassed by this behavior. Itâs the downside of Big Law (said by someone whoâs then-partner decided he wanted to represent the Congressional Republicans in defending the indefensible Defense of Marriage Act and publicly committed to it without going through the firmâs internal procedures).
As for this guy, said it before, Lawyer Rule No. 1: Do Not Screw With the Federal Judge.
The would be a charm of Atticus FinchesâŚnot a firm. 
Thanks for the link.
The face-off of this former prosecutor and Muellerâs team could provide some really interesting reading.
The attorney, Eric A. Dubelier, is a former Federal prosecutor. He should know better not to piss on the judges shoes.
And, he is proud of his past clients, as below:
Eric works extensively overseas conducting internal investigations relating to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. He has managed FCPA investigations in over twenty-five countries. Eric also counsels clients in export control matters.
Eric has represented pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers, drug wholesalers, long-term care and retail pharmacies, pharmacy benefit managers, nursing homes and hospitals in false claims, fraud, anti-kickback and consumer protection matters. He has also represented banks and other regulated entities in securities enforcement matters.
Somebody check the Steele dossier to see if he is included.
More like a full firm of Rudy Giulianis.
But with better teeth.
The firm is fine. Itâs been around for nearly 150 years.
What youâre witnessing here is just Dubelierâs personal style. Nothing new: this is how he is, in court and on paper, and not only in this case. He does have a second in this case (as he almost always does) but she isnât moderating his behavior (she canât).
Goes without sayingâŚ
