That Was Fast: Meet Milberg LLP
In today's Morning Docket, we wondered about what Milberg Weiss's new name would be, now that Mel Weiss is on his way to becoming a convicted felon. The answer came more quickly than expected. From the WSJ Law Blog:
The firm formerly known as Milberg Weiss Bershad & Shulman LLP, then Milberg Weiss Bershad LLP, then Milberg Weiss LLP, will now be known just as Milberg LLP. According to a Milberg insider, the name change was announced at a staff meeting this morning, at which Mel Weiss gave a speech talking about the accomplishments of the firm. The audience reportedly applauded.....
"Hey everyone, I'm going to prison for 18 to 33 months. Give me a big hand!"
The WSJ reported this morning that Mel Weiss has struck a deal to agree to plead guilty in a case alleging improper kickbacks. Other former name partners David Bershad and Steven Schulman had previously pleaded guilty in the case.
The beauty of naming the firm after Larry Milberg? He dead.

We defended the Nazis, but even we wouldn't return Mel Weiss' phone calls. Have fun in the clink, asswipe.

And of course Mel's profile already has been deleted from the firm website.

And in a few short months, there won't be Milberg LLP. It will go the way of Keyser Soze, never to be heard from again.
