So now spinning press releases to make your work sound good after the fact is grounds for disbarrment?
Holy shit! Andrew Cuomo should be in jail!

Yeah no attorney general ever has been known to issue self-aggrandizing press releases. You're going to have to do better than that. Also, how many times has this happened to you and your clients? If more than once, don't you think you should have built something about the press release into the settlement the second time?
Without divulging too many specifics, look at the press releases issued by his office and compare them to the actual settlement agreements of the underlying cases. What you'll find is a giant disconnect between the two. The public is told one version (aimed at the sole objective of pimping Cooper) that does not accurately reflect the facts of the issues or the contents settlement documents themselves. Lies and propoganda. And then when called out on it, it is always "oops, sorry, the press department is a different department, we can't control them or cause them to issue a corrective retraction" despite it being squarely within his scope of authority. And, poof, there goes the business in question.
1. There is a big difference between self-aggrandizing and making shit up.
2. When the "no press release" is part of the agreement that they choose to ignore with their "oops" response, there isn't much you can do about it (other than sue them, which is difficult when the press release just submarined your business).
Almost every action that Cooper has taken since he obtained his position has been for his own personal political gain, whether or not his objectives coincided with the best interests of the NC citizens. The guy is a straight hack. For those who rail on McCrory, Cooper will be 10 times worse should he ever be elected.
I know exactly what I'm talking about. I've dealt extensively with him and his office over the years.
Cooper should have been disbarred years ago. He is a bum.
Yeah, that would end well.
Plenty of law firms involved, nobody touched it. It takes the right kind of plaintiffs to challenge the state under the current system: either somebody with nothing and thus nothing to lose, or somebody with fuck you money to prove a point. Those in the middle can usually see the train coming at them through the tunnel.
