ANTITRUST TEAM From left, Thomas Girardi, Walter Lack and Eric George who represented the plaintiffs in the Hawaiian & Guamanian Cabotage Antitrust litigation, and while the disciplinary matter of In Re Girardi was pending before the Ninth Circuit. Subsequently, in late 2010, a Ninth Circuit panel consisting of Justices William Fletcher , Marsha Berzon, and Randy Smith found that Lack and Girardi had committed grave misconduct which included "the persistent use of known falsehoods," and that the "false representations" were made "knowingly, intentionally, and recklessly" during years of litigation.
Eric George (Ronald George's son) is an active board member of Bet Tzedek. Previously, the State Bar of California – one of the entities engaging in the systemic abuse of Gottschalk – declined a request to disclose the amount of money it transferred to Bet Tzedek, as well as the amount of contributions it obtained from its members and related law firms. Unlike its foundation – the California Bar Foundation, which discloses financial transactions on a regular basis – the State Bar of California itself only discloses the names of the entities upon which it bestows money, and does not enumerate the dollar figures involved.
WINNIE THE POOH TEAM. From left, Jerome Falk and Douglas Winthrop (of Howard Rice) and Eric George who handled a multimillion dollar litigation against the Walt Disney Company regarding unpaid royalties involving fictional character Winnie the Pooh.
Jerome Falk, acting as Special Prosecutor on behalf of the State Bar of California, repeatedly sought to subvert justice in examining attorney misconduct ( by Thomas Girardi and Walter Lack) in the litigation against Dole Food Company.
In his capacity as special prosecutor, and after reviewing the Ninth Circuit file, Falk chose to not file any disciplinary accusations against Walter Lack, stating that he believed Lack's misconduct was not intentional. See copy of letter from Jerome Falk to Walter Lack http://tinyurl.com/3s2tjxz
Shockingly, Jerome Falk failed to disclose that those he was suppose to prosecute (Thomas Girardi of Girardi & Keese and Walter Lack of Engstrom Lipscomb & Lack) were actually his and his firm's clients. See Here.
