| Partner, You have a new client! He wants to Skype with you on Monday. Can you accommodate? He said he has a lot of confidence in us (but he's looking for the same warm and fuzzy feeling he got with our face-to-face) last week. Bethany is going to ensure that the file he left with us is scanned into PDF and forwarded to you to review over the weekend. This is the Ohio National Guard guy whom they've threatened to prosecute if he elects his right to a board of inquiry rather than resigning. Travel claim fraud perpetrated by the SGT with whom he was TDY. ("Here LT, just sign and forward this, it's all filled out for you"). Sgt dummied up second hotel receipt so that he could make more money. Sgt confessed without any mention of involvement with Lt. Only after Lt came forward and said he had no idea did SGT then say Lt told him to do it. General believed Sgt. Yes, Lt signed without reading (Did I mention he's a 2ndLt?). No he did not intend to deceive because he didn't know it had been doctored. He's credible and is passionate about his defense. Might even want to polygraph him. Said he would take one. This is a winner. His Guard detailed counsel should be able to facilitate any issue re: practice before an Ohio Guard BOI by a foreign attorney. You're going to really like this kid. N Neal A.
