Hunkering Down
Many of our readers are lawyers and as The New York Times points out, lawyers are at the greatest risk, like cashiers, of contracting the Coronavirus. We, ourselves, will be hunkering down in self-imposed quarantine with our families. And we hope that you, our dear reader, do, too. As long time healthcare advocates, we, the CDLU, understand the critical need for families to stay quarantined and prevent the spread of the Coronavirus. We will be on hiatus and will return in April. Until then, our good wishes to you and yours.

The Walking Dead: Trump Kills Balch’s “Comeback” Zombie
President Donald Trump has had enough of the filthy swamp of Alabama. In an unprecedented, earth-shattering move, the President endorsed the opponent of Balch & Bingham’s stooge Jeff Sessions, who is running for his old seat in the U.S. Senate. Sessions was the symbolic figurehead of the resurgence, the “comeback” zombie of Balch & Bingham and their Siamese twin Alabama Power, who had hoped to once again walk among the most powerful. Now Sessions and his cronies are among the walking dead. Once at the pinnacle of power, Balch appears to be in the deepest, darkest bowels of disgrace. Anything…

The Next David Roberson? Southern Company Sell-Off Begins
David Roberson, the “fall guy” for the North Birmingham Bribery Scandal, was well-respected and beloved in Alabama’s highest circles until he was allegedly betrayed by his “friends” at Balch & Bingham and co-workers at Drummond Company. Balch & Bingham, who has declared in court filings that they “owed no duty” to Roberson, not even to tell him the truth, has been stung for their arrogance and battered reputation. The corrupt scheme of targeting poor black children and allegedly bribing their parents with $50 gift cards from Burlington Coat Factory was born at the offices of Balch & Bingham. In the…

Three Hour Hearing and Setback for Balch Stooges
Yesterday afternoon, Balch & Bingham stooges Trey Glenn and Scott Phillips had a three hour court hearing in their criminal trial for ethics violations related to the North Birmingham Bribery Scandal. And you won’t believe who was seated in the court gallery: Alabama Power’s criminal attorney. After all the acrobatic and sensational circus antics had cleared, Judge Stephen C. Wallace signed an order calling on prosecutors to give more specific details on each of the criminal charges. Prosecutors will not have a problem complying with the order, insiders tell us, and the work product from the order will strongly demonstrate…

Balch & Bingham Dooms Jeff Sessions
When he was a U.S. Senator, Jeff Sessions’ number 1 and number 2 lifetime political donors were, respectively, the sister-wives, Siamese twins of Alabama: Alabama Power and Balch & Bingham. Once the most powerful politician in Alabama, 68% of his party’s voters picked another candidate instead of Sessions on Super Tuesday. Why has Sessions, who came in second, been so bluntly rejected? Because of his ties to Balch & Bingham and the corruption born at the embattled law firm. Fox News reports: President Trump has little sympathy for former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who now faces a runoff election after failing…

Balch’s Half-Baked Deposition Talk of Legal Circles; Town Forever Tarred
While embattled law firm Balch & Bingham was foolishly boasting of increasing their Houston “office” from a footprint of one-and-a-half lawyers to a whopping two-and-a-half lawyers, legal circles were abuzz about the half-baked deposition used in an attempt to screw over Burt Newsome in the Newsome Conspiracy Case. The well-read blog Legal Schnauzer writes about the farce of a deposition and Verizon’s alleged expert: At the beginning of the deposition, [alleged Verizon employee Jason] Forman had no attorney present to represent him and object, if necessary to certain question. The normal process … is to have an attorney present, who…
