Ban Balch & Bingham

Thank you for taking a moment to visit our page and to learn about the unsettling controversies surrounding Balch & Bingham. Visit our Menu items, and scroll our posts to read more about:

The corrupt creation of a Star Chamber in August of 2017 where secret court proceedings moved forward for over 500 days and the public had no knowledge or access to the alleged criminal, unscrupulous, and perjuring acts by Balch & Bingham and others.
The alleged conspiracy against Burt Newsome , a father of four young children, who was wrongly targeted, falsely arrested and defamed. His case caused Balch to seek the sealing of court proceeding and the creation of the Star Chamber.
The suppression of African-Americans by Oliver Robinson who was given bribes of $360,000 funneled through Balch. Robinson is currently serving 4 years in federal prison for his role in the bribery scheme. Balch partner Joel I. Gilbert was convicted of bribery and money laundering on July 20, 2018 and sentenced to five years in federal prison.
The questionable political ménage à trois between Balch, Ex-U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and Black Hall Aerospace a/k/a AAL USA, Inc.
The FBI investigation allegedly related to Balch subcontracts in Mississippi.

Our advocacy group originally called on the Trump Administration and Congressional Leadership to ban Balch & Bingham, a prominent law firm from Alabama with offices in Washington, D.C., from soliciting or lobbying Congress or the Administration immediately.

We now want Balch clients to suspend their relationship with the embattled firm.

We want Balch to conduct a “top-to-bottom” review of their firm and hold any spoiled apples inside the firm accountable.

Our hope is that Balch will start by focusing on their commitment to “mutual cooperation and openness and professionalism,” and that they will settle the Burt Newsome Conspiracy Case, and hold a Day of Forgiveness and Reconciliation in North Birmingham.

There are many professional, ethical, and outstanding professionals working at Balch & Bingham. Regardless of the criminal conviction of Balch partner Joel I. Gilbert, adherence to the law and best practices cannot be ignored.

The few spoiled apples need to be dealt with and we hope so soon.

Without our involvement, we don’t believe a “future star” partner would have been fired on March 3, 2017. You must demand higher standards and swift action from your management team not to defend the indefensible, but to seek better practices and affirm the best professional standards.

North Birmingham Bribery Case

From Get Smart Tarrant to Get the Facts

October 2, 2018 /

Are supporters of Balch & Bingham and convicted felon Joel I. Gilbert thumbing their noses at the U.S. Attorney’s office? The absurd op-ed defending Balch & Bingham and Gilbert’s abhorrent conduct is now part of an orchestrated advertising campaign on Google searches targeting Alabama area mobile phones. Anyone searching for information about the Oliver Robinson sentencing or even BanBalch.com, may see the ad about “Corruption & Pollution” and “Get the Facts” linking you to Guy V. Martin, Jr.’s op-ed on the Yellowhammer.com website. (Screenshot from September 27th above.) The identical op-ed by Martin now has appeared on the Alabama Political Reporter…

Dying on the Vine? Balch and Alleged Racism

October 1, 2018 /

It’s killing them. Will Balch & Bingham vehemently deny the actions in North Birmingham, an area that is 92.5 percent African-American, are racist? Will Balch & Bingham vehemently deny the actions by former Balch partner and convicted felon Joel I. Gilbert and his paid stooges targeting poor black children and a school that is 95 percent minority were racist? Will Balch & Bingham rather die on the vine than acknowledge, apologize, and advance beyond the ugliest chapter of their almost 100-year history? With the new foolish LMAO campaign to try to justify Gilbert’s criminal conduct and the targeting of poor…
