Public Rips Idiotic Defense of Balch & Bingham
We never, ever thought it was this bad for Balch. The orchestrated public relations strategy of defending embattled law firm Balch & Bingham has backfired miserably and the public is ripping the idiotic defense of Balch. Last week, anonymous sources tried to defend Balch’s indefensible conduct, in a 1,500 word piece in the Alabama Political Reporter that promoted our website, the first salvo of a new orchestrated campaign to try to save the embattled law firm. But reaction by the public on social media has been unanimously against Balch. That’s bad; real bad. Here are just some of the blistering…

CDLU Sparked Probe Forces Disgraced U.S. Attorney Jay E. Town to Resign
Jay E. Town is out, abruptly resigning as U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama today. On June 8, 2020, we, the CDLU, reported that Town was under scrutiny at the U.S. Department of Justice. The jaw-dropping photos, the secret deal with Alabama Power, the shenanigans about a half-baked deposition in the Newsome Conspiracy Case, and the blocking of not one but four F.B.I. investigations culminated in a formal complaint to the U.S. Department of Justice by us, the CDLU. We followed up with two additional packets of information and we told the Office of Professional Responsibility in our…

Unfit: Interim Police Chief’s Alleged Abuse Under the Color of Law, Anti-Muslim Vulgarity, and Balch Connection
Lt. Jeff Bowers of the Columbiana (Alabama) Police Department was appointed Interim Police Chief after long-time Police Chief Lamar Vick retired at the end of last year. Our sources at City Hall in Columbiana tell us a permanent chief will be appointed after the mayoral election in November. Bowers should not be promoted; instead he should be demoted. Why? This was the police officer who pulled Burt Newsome over in an alleged “staged arrest” back in 2013, during the early days of the Newsome Conspiracy Case. The mug shot from that arrest was used by disgraced law firm Balch &…

Ready. Set. Action! Actor Allegedly Used in Balch’s Half-Baked Deposition
Unless he grew five inches in height, gained 150 pounds, suffered dramatic hair loss, and saw his skull double in size, the telephony expert in the Balch’s half-baked deposition in 2017 during the height of the Newsome Conspiracy Case was allegedly an actor, a fake, an imposter. The real Jason Forman is pictured above exiting Verizon Corporate headquarters in New Jersey. In March, the well-read blog Legal Schnauzer wrote 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…

Elderly Exploitation Scandal, Newsome Conspiracy Case, North Birmingham Bribery Case, Spotlight on Balch & Bingham
Balch Stooges Expose Failed Tactics; Utter Lack of Leadership at Balch
From the targeting of poor African-American children to the alleged exploitation of the elderly, the once-prestigious, silk-stocking law firm appears to be a complete embarrassment, and sadly, the legal community also appears to be relishing in Balch’s demise. Two Jefferson County judges. Two paid consultants. All Balch stooges. Even the Associate Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, Will Sellers, a former long-time Balch & Bingham partner, concurred. Balch stooge Judge Alan L. King’s ruling not allowing 88-year-old Joann Brashinsky (Mrs. B) to retain new legal counsel was “unfathomable.” Last week, King was ripped to shreds unanimously (7-0) by the Alabama…

Divide and Dilute: Alleged Racism Sucker Punches Balch & Bingham
While Balch and their foolish goons may have believed they had successfully and legally diluted and divided African-Americans, the reality appears to be that Balch has simply diluted and divided the once-prestigious firm. [Originally published on September 26, 2019, this post highlights one of the most explosive issues encouraged by systemic racism: disenfranchising African-American voters. Any corporate client of Balch & Bingham should be sickened.] Another day and another new Balch & Bingham bombshell. The consultant who allegedly disenfranchised African-American voters in North Carolina by creating legislative maps that were later ruled “extreme partisan gerrymandering” had contact with key Alabama…

Suicide of Balch & Bingham?
How much has Balch lost now in the aggregate? $5 million? $9 million? $12 million? or even $20 million? [This post originally was posted on January 16, 2020. Now with Balch & Bingham’s alleged racist misconduct and alleged tokenism in the spotlight, Juneteenth is the appropriate day to remind Balch clients to terminate the firm. Changes to the post are in purple.] The news at Balch was an earthquake, a shock—equal to a die-hard Alabama fan dumping the Crimson Tide for Auburn after three decades. Legacy partner Jesse S. Vogtle, Jr., after 31 years, and his money-making team have left…

Gone! Balch’s Director of Legal Recruiting Exits
Another blow. After twenty years of service to the embattled firm, Barrie Wilson, Director of Legal Recruiting left Balch & Bingham last month according to her LinkedIn profile. Balch’s reputation appears to be at an all time low, and now in the middle of an alleged elderly exploitation scandal, never ending embarrassment continues to plague the once prestigious law firm. Wilson joins the ranks of Lisa Arrington, the former Director of Human Resources at Balch who left last year after 12 years. The exodus of two internal pillars, two directors at Balch is troubling. Now, today, with social justice and…

Balch & Bingham’s Alleged Elderly Exploitation Victims Speaking Up
Another eye-popping report from Alabama Today titled “Protected or Prisoner Part 2: How our grandparents and their livelihoods are being stolen by the court system” has rocked the legal establishment. We have learned that other victims of the alleged elderly exploitations scheme have reached out to Alabama Today directly. Even we, the CDLU, have been contacted via our tip hotline by alleged victims of The Birmingham Triangle of Balch & Bingham’s Amy Adams, Jefferson County Conservator Greg Hawley, and Judge Alan L. King. At $425 an hour, Amy Adams of Balch & Bingham has reaped generous fees from numerous estates.…

Criminal Subornation of Perjury? Balch Stooges Under the Microscope
Our insiders tell us that U.S. Attorney Jay E. Town (pictured above, right) was allegedly “shaken up” by the jaw-dropping photos of him enjoying cocktails with former Balch & Bingham partner and Alabama Power CEO Mark A. Crosswhite at the Moon Shine Lounge. Town allegedly told others that the stunning photos were taken in October 2019, not 2017, complicating matters even further. By October 2019, his office had been fully briefed on the Newsome Conspiracy Case and it marks the same month that FBI agents in Montgomery (the Middle District of Alabama) were dissuaded from pursuing allegations of corruption and…

U.S. Attorney Jay E. Town Under Scrutiny for Ties to Alabama Power and Balch
[Update: July 10, 2020: Town has abruptly resigned. CDLU sparked probe forces resignation of disgraced U.S. Attorney Jay E. Town.] During the pandemic quarantine, we, the CDLU, received a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice dated April 7, 2020 confirming that the Office of the Inspector General had reviewed our formal complaint from December against the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama Jay E. Town, and had forwarded the matter to the Office of Professional Responsibility and the General Counsel of the Executive Office of the United States Attorneys. Providing the Department of Justice with hard copies…

Justice and Inherent Goodness Shall Prevail
With the despicable hunting and murder of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia, the spotlight on racism, corruption, favoritism, dirty cops, inert prosecutors, and Southern transgressions is erupting. Just like the idiots who attempt to justify the murder of Maud because he entered a construction site for a few minutes, we have seen idiots in Alabama attempt to justify the alleged targeting of poor blacks in toxic, polluted North Birmingham as a fight against “government overreach.” How about the alleged horrific use of a well-connected cop to arrest Burt Newsome? Balch & Bingham declared in court documents it had the “right to…

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…

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…
