As the criminal predicated acts of the RICO enterprise are reviewed, new evidence is emerging.

The genesis of this blog was the Newsome Conspiracy Case and now a key defense in the case has been confirmed as a lie.

Repeatedly, under oath and in court pleadings, Balch & Bingham alleged they did not know who Alfred W. Seier III was.

Al Seier was the individual who pulled a gun on Burt Newsome in 2012, and declared vulgarly, “This is last time you are going to f*** with my wife!”

Newsome had spearheaded a legal collection effort against Seier’s wife Sharon Lawson.

In 2018, we uncovered explosive evidence that Balch had indeed interacted with Al Seier at least six months before the Newsome Conspiracy Case started.

We wrote at the time:

According to these public records, Alfred Seier was one of three initial members of a company called Southshore Development, LLC. Alfred Seier, who pulled a gun on Burt Newsome in January of 2012, is the late brother of alleged co-conspirator Claiborne Seier, an attorney who was handling his brother’s affairs.

And who did Southshore Development, LLC interact with in 2010 to amend their mortgage? Balch & Bingham.

And who did Southshore Development, LLC interact with in July of 2011 to provide a full release of the mortgage? Balch & Bingham.

While Balch may not have known who the principals of Southshore Development, LLC were, they indeed knew who Al Seier was, according to new evidence.

Eight months after Newsome had filed suit against Sharon Lawson, Balch filed suit against Al Seier as an individual on behalf of Compass Bank in a complicated collection effort.

Balch deceived. Balch fibbed. Balch misled. Balch lied.

Shameful! From prestigious to egregious.
