Yavapai College has yet to announce a settlement; will taxpayers pay the costs?
One has to wonder if the lawyers involved in the Hamilton v. Yavapai College whistleblowing lawsuit aren’t getting some pretty fat fees. Recall the Plaintiff Hamilton is the veteran who used to run the aviation program at Yavapai College and was fired. He then blew the whistle on the College and its failure to comply with Veterans Administration’s requirements regarding an 85/15 rule for Veterans. (Check out the lawsuit in the Blog index.) The lawsuit remains unsettled.
Listed below are the lawyers, their law firms, and the clients they represent. The Blog obtained the list from the Federal District Court order when the judge refused to dismiss a number of counts against the College. Amazing, isn’t it.
One also wonders whether there might be a conflict of interest when one firm represents several defendants in this lawsuit. Ummm?
Finally, who is paying for all this legal talent? Is it the taxpayers of Yavapai County? Wouldn’t it be nice if the College would send out that information?
