MEDIA STATEMENT FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: LUCY ROSEN (505) 848-9726 Cell: (516) 410-0423 August 31, 2012 Our mission at Modrall Sperling is to deliver the highest quality client service and legal advice, and to honor our 75 year legacy of community service and respect for all people. Recent revelations of private e-mail communications have distracted from our mission, and Pat Rogers has tendered his resignation from the Firm. His resignation has been accepted, and we thank him for years of service on behalf of our clients. Looking forward, our mission remains unchanged. We will continue to support our clients needs for vigorous and strategic legal services and thank them and the communities in which we live and work for their continuing support. Thank you, R.E. Thompson, President
