Yeah, agreed. I mean, Jones Day doing legal work regarding the FEC and whatnot didn't look great, but it was legit, somewhat complicated work and they made a ton of money.dixiecupdrinking wrote:What a shitty client and case to stake your firm's reputation on.

I am not really disagreeing with you, although David Friedman was his bankruptcy lawyer.lapolicia wrote:bearsfan23 wrote:Don't think Kasowitz cares much about reputation.

Trump has actually been a Kasowitz client long before his presidential campaign, primarily in regards to casino bankruptcies. I think this is just an extension of the relationship he's developed with Marc Kasowitz.
The letter writer did a bad job. Everyone's mom knows Trump doesn't pay for substandard work.El Pollito wrote:heythatslife wrote:It would be hilarious if Trump stiffed them on the bill down the line
I can't imagine a scenario where I'd intimidate journalists for a friend. Then again, I can't imagine a scenario where I'm friends with a serial groper, so to each their own.deadpanic wrote:I am not really disagreeing with you, although David Friedman was his bankruptcy lawyer.lapolicia wrote:bearsfan23 wrote:Don't think Kasowitz cares much about reputation.

But still, if your best friend said "hey, there is no legal basis, but will you write a threatening letter against a prominent newspaper because they wrote a bad story about me?" I wouldn't write a letter and stick my reputation out like that for a past client, especially when you know what is coming. I can see some lawyers doing that for loyal clients, but not a pretty decent, well-known law firm doing that. Strange and looks desperate, but I think Kasowitz actually relishes in just being argumentative and difficult in general (see his statement when the insurance recovery partners left his firm for Mckool Smith).
