Description

Shortly after I was first quoted in the press ("Heimlich's Manuever," Cleveland Scene, August 11, 2004), Karen and I received these two letters from "superlawyer" Stan Chesley. Chesley's name also turns up in the March 28, 2006 letter from attorney Louis Sirkin to Phil Heimlich, posted elsewhere on this site.

In the American Lawyer article, Seattle attorney Leonard Schroeter called Chesley "the ultimate grotesque, exaggerated perversion of what it means to be a lawyer." He is no more charitable now. "I've known him for 40 years, and I've always thought he was an opportunist and just a nasty son of a bitch," Schroeter said in a recent interview.
