In recent weeks, we’ve come across Am Law 200 lawyers in trouble for allegedly scamming private schools, helping run Ponzi schemes, taking vacations with client funds, and all manner of other improprieties.
The latest alleged malfeasor came to a light through a Wednesday report in DNAinfo.com on criminal and civil charges pending against Sidley Austin counsel Marshall Feiring related to a June incident in Central Park. According to a criminal complaint filed by the New York county district attorney’s office, Feiring allegedly yanked a woman off a bike after she swerved to avoid him while riding in the bike lane along Central Park West. The complaint, which brings charges of misdemeanor assault and harassment, says Feiring pulled the woman, Courtney Fullilove, by a heavy bike chain hanging on her shoulder, causing her to fall and suffer bruising and lacerations.
