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.

A Year Later: A Prelude, Not an Aftermath, as Southern Company Faces the Music

December 14, 2023 /

A year ago, the embattled CEO of Alabama Power Mark A. Crosswhite was ousted in disgrace. The surveillance efforts and scandalous acts of the Southern Company criminal enterprise were exposed in the public arena. A few days after the announcement, we, the CDLU, received anonymously spreadsheets and documents outlining how Southern Company spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in the summer of 2020 attacking us, the family of our CEO, K.B. Forbes, and Burt Newsome and his family. Both Forbes’ and Newsome’s young children were targeted and at times cried in fear by the foolish acts paid for Southern Company.…
