"Certain APS Defendants"' lawyer bows out

In my complaints against Marty Esquivel and APS, two law firm have been employed to represent the defendants; one for Mary Esquivel personally, and one for the rest of the defendants.  Their lawyer, link, is moving on.

Because all of their deliberations take place in secret, we will never know why.

I would like to believe we might have stumbled upon another lawyer with a public conscience.  Not all lawyers care where the money comes from as long as it comes; the more, the faster, the better.

Esquivel and the rest of the defendants will (continue to) be represented by Luis Robles, link.

When presented with photojournalist Mark Bralley's formidable 98 page complaint, I witnessed Robles' open delight at the thought of the number of billable hours it represented.

Although APS made an effort to mislead taxpayers into believing that they have spent only $250K on their legal expenses, the truth is they have spend far more; 3 times more at the least.

Taxpayers may save some money now that they're down to one law firm, but there are no guarantees.  What comes next is going to be very, very expensive for taxpayers.
