REQUEST FOR INQUIRY/COMPLAINT FILED

Wasn't sure where to post this....

UPDATE on the Casey Anthony Defense Attorney Jose Baez & Todd Black (Gil Cabot) Request for Inquiry Complaint Filed

The following is an UPDATE from the previously posted story … ‘Todd Black … Jose Baez (Defense Attorney for Casey Anthony) and the Florida Bar … Could There be Further Inquiry … REQUEST FOR INQUIRY/COMPLAINT FILED!’

The Florida Bar has confirmed with me directly today that it is investigating the most recent complaint inquiry against Jose Baez, attorney for Casey Anthony, contained in this article, ref #09-14647. There will be no further comments from the FBA while it continues it’s investigation into the filing.
I spoke exclusively with Mark Nejame, Previous Attorney for George and Cindy Anthony, currently representing Texas Equusearch for comment:

“Given what has been brought to light about the identity of Todd Black by your investigative efforts and his representation of Jose Baez, I am considering filing a complaint with the Florida Bar. I have had personal experiences with Mr. Black or whoever he is where he represented himself as an agent for Jose Baez. I am going to reach out to the bar on the issue as to my ethical responsibility as a member to do so.”

Not one to dwell on a messy break-up, Jose Baez has hired veteran Media Rep Marti Mackenzie . It is rumored she comes with her own phone that is not registered to anyone in the Baez household.

“It’s time to refocus on legal issues,” Mackenzie said Wednesday. “My role is to free up the defense lawyers so they can do that.”

Marti Mackenzie, who I can confirm is an actual PR representative and no one’s alter ego, is best known for her representation in former astronaut Lisa Nowak’s case.
Apparently refusing to leave without his parking validation, this is news to former spokesperson for The Baez Law Firm, Todd Black aka GilTod.

“The only thing that’s been ‘dumped’ is prepayment of our services into our trust account, and those services will be rendered when asked per our non-refundable contract,” Sabrina Cane, a Press Corps Media worker, e-mailed the Orlando Sentinel. “Given the many surprises already experienced in this case, Press Corps Media will do what it has been paid to do - assist in Ms. Anthony’s defense on media coverage.”

The sound of screeching tires out of the parking lot notwithstanding, it does not appear Ms. Mackenzie and GilTod are going to swap war stories. Mackenzie said this afternoon that she has never encountered a situation like this before when a previous media firm refuses to let go after a client has made his intentions clear.

I hope Nejame has an ethical duty to make a complaint.
