Arent Fox Law Firm schools corrupt attorneys and plays politics with judicial process. Lawyers tout FTC governmental connections to clients; Pepsico (fake Harrier offer) and Citigroup among the corruption Democrat Partner forced out by Republican cronies Employee Whistleblower Washington, DC
I am a former employee of Arent Fox Law Firm. I am so disgusted with what I have seen at this highly corrupt firm that I have decided to speak out. One of their favorite sayings is, "Controversy Sells." Well, let's see how they fare when the controversy is about them and not stories they have developed and planted with media connections.
First of all, and ironically, the summer interns were given the task of researching and lambasting the makers of the drug OxyContin, Perdue Pharma LLC. One of the interns got caught selling the drug by the local cops and one of the Firm's Associates was given the task of getting the cops and the DA to "lose interest in the case." This is one example of the firms total disregard for our system of jurisprudence. All this effort was because the intern was supplying several of the Associates and even a couple of the Partners.
Politics plays a major role in the aggressiveness with which they pursue a case. The Firm is totally unsupportive of anyone who is affiliated with the Democratic party. A partner who decided to run for public office as a Democrat was forced out of the Firm.
Commercial bankruptcy specialists are like a pack of angry wolves and the most aggressive crooked bunch of lawyers. There are attorneys who have conspired to perpetrate frauds on the court, prepping clients so well that they actually rehearse their answers with them. I am well aware of the forging of documents. Selected office staff is shown how to transfer signatures to documents and given special treatment for their total loyalty. Little do they know that the "extra tasks" they are "asked" to perform are documented so they can use it against them if they decide to turn on the Firm.
Compared to all this, the circumstantial evidence of violations of the ethical code and aiding a health care provider hide funds stolen from Medicare seems pretty tame. In the former case, the corruption of the Federal Trade Commission is fairly significant in and of itself, and that should not be disparaged. This firm supports the current administration's policy of raping regulatory budgets of the Securty Exchange Commission and the Federal Trade Commission because it makes it easy to get away with stuff.
In a well-known case, Arent Fox represented a health care provider who received Medicare funds from Citicorp and its subsidiaries. In this case, Associates essentially bribed the judge in exhange for a favorable decision in the matter of the appeal.
May the god of justice look down favorably on us all and ensure that this Firm is brought to the judgement bar for their sins against us all.

Zach,
If what you report is valid, can't you do something like go to the companies that have been victimized by these people and give them a "smoking gun"?
I understand the documentation of wrong doings of the employees to keep them quiet... but isn't that extortion? Maybe immunity would be given to someone to "blow the whistle."
Unfortunately, in the current political climate, this company would actually do better with the word out about their affiliations and leanings.
I am getting too old and too tired.
Thanks,

FTC are crooks; pretend to recoup money from Citigroup WorldCom class action and keep most of it

The person, (or attorney) who wrote the comments above, hit a nerve with me. You mentioned the FTC corruption and taking money from class action settlements. I am the victim of a $2.65 billion settlement the FTC made with Citigroup for WorldCom investors. Citigroup hid the risks for the WorldCom fraud.
Then to top it off, the FTC took the money for the settlement of the $215 Million for predatory lending charged against Citigroup.
So, whatever connection this Argent Fox Law company has with the FTC and Citigroup, I hope they can be taken down, destroyed and forced to pay for the pain they have cause America.
