Balch & Bingham Made Millions While Mississippi Renters Received Nothing
The Pimps of Mississippi have made national headlines today in The Washington Post. Embattled and alleged racist law law firm Balch & Bingham has reaped millions while renters, many of whom are People of Color, received nothing. Is a federal or congressional probe next? The Washington Post reports: Across America, state distribution of federal cash meant to help people facing eviction during the pandemic has been uneven and slow. But Mississippi’s program has been one of the more problematic. More than seven months after Congress and former president Donald Trump created the Emergency Rental Assistance Program, Mississippi had spent only 11…

Will the Anulewicz Family Dump Balch & Bingham?
Last night on the local Atlanta ABC-affiliate, a bombshell news report came out showing that a celebrity couple had been allegedly targeted by rogue Georgia tax revenue agents, stating that the agents thought they were “untouchable.” And who is fighting and exposing these alleged rogue and dishonorable agents? Balch & Bingham partner Christopher Anulewicz. In November of 2017, we wrote about two honorable and respected Balch & Bingham partners who were fighting corruption in Georgia, Anulewicz and Mike Bowers, both based in Atlanta. We asked at the time, “Will the Good Guys Bail on Balch?” From our post in 2017:…

Run Like Hell! Another Disbarred and Disgraced Attorney Pleads for Mercy
Who says environmentalists are living saints? The sleazy, shady and corrupt dealings surrounding polluters and their enablers can also be found on the opposing table. As an alleged sexual predator scandal engulfs Balch & Bingham, another disgraced attorney in New York is pleading for mercy. Reuters reported yesterday: Disbarred lawyer Steven Donziger, who was found guilty of criminal contempt after spending more than two decades trying to hold Chevron Corp liable for rainforest pollution in Ecuador, has asked a Manhattan federal court to sentence him to time served. In a Tuesday filing, his lawyers told Senior U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska…

Not Above the Law! Balch & Bingham, Perkins Coie, and Arnold & Porter Feel the Blistering Heat
In 2017, we, the CDLU, dispatched a letter and email to the firmwide managing partner of Perkins Coie, the law firm that represented the failed presidential campaign of former U.S. Senator and First Lady Hillary Clinton. The law firm, closely tied to the Democratic Party, was allegedly behind the circulation of the infamous and unsubstantiated “Steele Dossier” against President Donald J. Trump. We wrote at the time: We are writing to you to request an immediate internal investigation of the allegations against Perkins Coie partner Marc E. Elias who allegedly mislead the media and the public about the funding of…

Barbara Olson, 9/11 and Balch & Bingham
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… That is the feeling one gets when they remember Balch & Bingham at the pinnacle of prestige and respect: a silk-stocking law firm that was connected to the power structure on Goat Hill in Montgomery and on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. and provided superior services to their clients, the community, and the law profession itself. Now, today, an alleged pedophile who served eight years as an attorney at Balch dominates the headlines. The ex-Balch partner involved in an abhorrent criminal scheme, including targeting poor black children with $50 Burlington…

Ex-Balch Partner and Ex-Drummond Executive Must Report to Federal Prison Before Halloween
We are told that convicted felon and Balch-made millionaire Joel I. Gilbert and ex-Drummond Executive David Roberson must report to federal prison before the end of October. The news is devastating for Balch as they have been hammered in recent weeks by an alleged pedophile arrest of an ex-Balch attorney, who solicited a child online. With an alleged elderly exploitation scandal, an alleged housing assistance debacle in Mississippi, and allegations of racism rocking the embattled firm, Balch is hurting from all sides. Images of the convicted felons entering prison will sadly not rehabilitate Balch’s damaged and tarnished reputation. Gilbert is…

Unholy Trinity: Pedophilia, Elderly Exploitation, and Racism. Southern Company Needs to Terminate Balch Now.
When we met in 2017 with Southern Company’s Jim Kerr, who serves as Chief Compliance Officer, General Counsel and Executive Vice President, he flatly told us he does not need to use Balch & Bingham and has plenty of other law firms he can utilize who could do the same work as Balch. Of course, Kerr’s words were lip service to us. Even though Southern Company’s CEO Tom Fanning has distanced himself from Balch, subsidiaries like Mississippi Power and Alabama Power continue to utilize the embattled law firm. With the pedophilia debacle, alleged elderly exploitation scandal, and alleged racism rocking…
