Daily Caller: Two of the attorneys representing various cities in climate litigation against oil companies have a history of suing and counter-suing each other over personal squabbles, according to documents obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Environmental attorneys Vic Sher and Matt Pawa got into a multi-million-dollar legal dispute in 2014 stemming from a lawsuit they both worked on against ExxonMobil. Sher, who was with Sher Leff at the time, alleged Pawa’s group, Pawa Law Group, failed to distribute money from a settlement in the case. Pawa, in turn, argued in a lawsuit that Sher was the one cheating him out of millions of dollars.
Sher, who is now with Sher Edling, eventually paid Pawa about $6 million for the retributions, court documents show. The disagreement stems from a lawsuit New Hampshire filed in 2013 alleging Exxon negligently contaminated the state’s water ways with 2 billion gallons of MTBE, a gas additive experts believe poisons drinking water. The intrigue comes amid growing bad blood between the two sides. more here
In reality, “environmentalists” are lawyers sucking money from public and private projects.
How could we possibly expect the seas to stop rising if countless lawyers can’t make million$!?
@Anonymous – IF the Seas KEEP rising at least we’ll have hope that all Lawyers might be drowned.
Tax dollars are too ripe a plum for these rodents to pass up. Money is funneled from connections in government offices to bring these scam lawsuits and bleed taxpayers.
Lawyers are only able to do what they do because of laws passed by elected officials.
Hate lawyers? Look to who you elected.
