As part of their defense, the Kelly Warner lawyers claim that “fake news” published by the Washington Post, TechDirt, USA Herald, BarComplaint.com (which filed this separate complaint of fraud against Kelly/Warner), Ars Technica, Structured Settlements, and other members of the media are the reasons why the Arizona Bar is taking action against them.
Finally, the Kelly Warner lawyers claim that the Texas Attorney General’s office recently took legal actions against a similar fraud scheme involving fake defendants, and because the attorneys in those cases have not had legal actions taken against them, that essentially a precedent exists for action to not be taken against the Kelly Warner law firm.
According to sources the Texas Attorney General is investigating the Kelly Warner lawyers connection to the Solvera Group. The Texas AG has assembled a team to unravel who was behind the fraud on their courts, and one of the direct connections the Kelly Warner firm has to the Texas court fraud is through the Lynd v. Hood case, filed by the Kelly Warner law firm.
