Instead, the Kelly/Warner method seeks to cover up the “false” news—not necessarily debunk it or tell the true story. If lawyers continue to circumvent the legal system this way, it could mean news organizations have little control over what they cover—or in what light they cover it.

The Bar is currently investigating the firm for ethics violations after a formal complaint was lodged by Charles Rodrick, a previous client on another case with fake filing implications. Rodrick filed the complaint on June 2.
