Former Houston bankruptcy judge David R. Jones has consented to a deposition by Jackson Walker LLP, addressing his past relationship with former attorney Elizabeth Freeman. The deposition, scheduled for July 18, will span seven hours and aims to shed light on the concealment of their relationship while Freeman was employed by the firm.
This agreement is part of a broader conflict in which the Department of Justice is challenging Jackson Walker’s collection of over $13 million in fees from cases overseen by Jones. Federal authorities have criticized the firm’s defense strategy, likening it to an “ostrich defense” for purportedly evading pertinent facts.
