TAF paid over 500K to the Law Firm trying to destroy Shane Lanham

[sputnam]

So I guess that answers the question of how these law firms got chosen to provide consultation to TAF.

If you think the howling from the left is bad now, just think what it would have been had TAF rejected White for their BOT. For any reason, much less the point she makes her living on this one issue.

A legit question.... as is 'how did the plaintiffs suing Shane Lanham pick that law firm?' I doubt we will get reliable answers to either question. It's simply none of our business how a Client selects a law firm to represent them in a legal matter.

The Unlikely Appraiser Advocate​

Jillian White, a minority appraiser, says entire industry needs reappraisal

There are about 75,000 appraisers nationwide and only about 300 are Black women, according to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics. That means there are a few hundred appraisers who understand both what it’s like to be Black in America and also what it’s like to have an appraiser’s methodology.


White was about eight years into her career when she met Ernest Durbin II at a meeting of The Collateral Risk Network back in 2011. Durbin recalled that she was running her own appraisal company in New York.


“In conversations with her, I learned that she was 29 years-old and had a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience from Columbia University. This led to the inevitable question, ‘How did you end up in the appraisal industry?’” he said.


Durbin, who was publisher of a national valuation magazine call “LiveValutation,” said he was impressed with White and asked her to write about her personal experience getting into the industry.

White did not disappoint, as she pointed to the lack of young appraisers and willing mentors in the business.


Durbin noted that the article highlights an issue that still remains in the appraisal business a dozen years later; a lack of diversity in the industry


As for the question about her degree in neuroscience, White explained that she would have had to pursue an MD or PhD and she wasn’t interested in that so she looked for other options.

No... it isn't any of your business. Just like it's none of my business which law firm you choose to make your will. What they try to do in court can sometimes be our business.

Very much our business considering what TAF is.

When I was a teenager my father worked for a large logging company and it was accused of not hiring enough minorities by the EOC (Equal Opportunities Commission). The company had a operation in Bogalusa, LA. So they recruited two young men to come to the Northwest to 'set chokers' at a wage that was 4 times what they would make back in Bogalusa. Anyone who has watch the Discovery Channel probably has gotten the flavor for the danger and misery of the job. A few times my father, who was in HR, would come home 'early' and would be sitting with a glass of Scotch because someone had been killed in a logging accident (snapped cable line, crushed by a log). One Sunday, Dad took me over to a house in town he had set up for the two men from Bogalusa to live, told them how to set their alarm clock for 4:15 AM, and told them where to catch the 'crummie' (some railroad logging terms don't die). Dad would check in on them a couple times a week and ask them how things were going and if they needed anything. Within six months they had quit, they were homesick, and realized how dangerous and demanding the job was.

A few years after the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed the local newspapers picked up on a lawyer who with had one client and they would come to a town, find a sidewalk violations, and sue the city for $75,000 and get a settlement for a large portion of that amount. The 'disable' client had never lived in the community and then the attorney and client would go down the road to the next small city.

DEI strikes me as having the same intent as the EOC and the ADA. It provides law firms with an opportunity to 'shake down' companies and corporations. With Relman Colfax PLLC as a 'client' who needs enemies? I guess we don't know the real reason TAF hired them, but it sounds like 'pay me now or pay me latter.'

Lawfare

The ADA shakedown specialists have wrought havoc through the mom and pop businesses in exactly that manner. In addition to paying off the extortion, many of the victims also had to comply with the demands for the physical improvements. AND many of the cities were compelled to more vigorously enforce those access requirements on property owners.

50 years ago the owner of an SFR located across the street from the Courthouse could just operate a law office out of it without making any changes to the property. That isn't possible any more. Now they need ramps and door-widths and handles that don't require twisting the wrist and signs in Braille and ADA-sized restrooms and such. All of which is the result of the same type of lawfare the appraisal profession faces today.
