Elena Perez, Esq

[btcane]

Quote: "Perez’s compensation from the NCAA: Ms. Perez made it clear to the
Enforcement Staff that her client had no source of funds to pay for her
work in the bankruptcy process. She also made it abundantly clear to
the Enforcement Staff that she would not expend the time and
resources to conduct these depositions unless the NCAA was paying
her. As she explained in her interview with us, she had absolutely no
interest in doing these depositions “for nothing.” Therefore, these
depositions would likely not have occurred in the normal course of the
bankruptcy proceeding but for the NCAA’s agreement to pay Ms.
Perez.50
In light of these circumstances, it is apparent that the Enforcement Staff accepted
the Perez proposal with clear intent to use the bankruptcy process for their own
ends.

Ms. Perez, How do you spell, "Abuse of Process?" Contempt of Court?

How do you spell "Money Hungry ****"?

Go for it.

 

[DJWilliams55]

Can you spell disbarred?

They are trying to push it off on her. This stuff will kill her with the bar.

I love how Donna has somehow turned it from them ganging up on UM to trying to throw liability onto each other. Aahahahahahaha

Something tells me MEP will be giving an exclusive interview to WSVN in the near future spilling the beans on the NCAA.

word on twitter is that Perez was only paid around 18K of the 57K she requested. perhaps she starts dishing some even heavier dirt on the NCAA after this report

Yep...she isn't going to take it lying down. She is going to throw dirt right back at them...and publicly. This is her license at play. ***** will throw everything at them.

You could say its a...perfect storm.

If she hadn't any sense at all (which she doesn't), she should keep a quiet front right now.

But she's her own worse enemy. She's making a case she had a retainership interest with the NCAA with her own words.

She's on a headline collision course with the Florida ethics bar - with her own foot on the acceleration pedal.

She can't spill the dirt on the NCAA, without getting disbarred. Despite the fact that she should not have been hired, she still was hired and the NCAA was a client of her's. She has client confidentiality FL bar obligations to the NCAA. Thus she cannot spill the beans, unless it is in some type of legal action, such as a lawsuit by her against the NCAA to collect her fees, if she has not been paid in full. Good luck with that. She won't be talking.

I don't think she even has any additional dirt on the NCAA.

Perez is not a very smart person. She's a horrendous attorney and she exists at the bottom of her profession. The NCAA only used her to abuse a bankruptcy proceeding in order to garner some information that the NCAA should never have been able to obtain. That was her function in all of this.

Page 21:
We learned that the NCAA had expended
approximately $8,200 to fund communications with Mr. Shapiro, including transfers of
approximately $4,500 to his prison commissary account from which he pays for
communications expenses.

Dunno, NCAA may already have waived. The report has details of her discussions with NCAA, horse out of barn?

Dude, maybe she just did... if she told the outside law firm (not her client) what the nature of her representation was with the NCAA, and the NCAA published her statements (waived its A-C privilege?) they may have all waived (and/or violated) A-c privilege.

The real fun part is that she has all but admitted that she wasn't really participating in those bankruptcy depositions on behalf of a party-debtor, but rather because and only because she was getting paid by the NCAA to get evidence for the NCAA. I wonder what the federal court in New Jersey has planned for her? The hits just keep on comin'.

 

[jifarina]

disbarment sounds like its right around the corner. Second major offense.

 

[texacane]

PS question for the lawyers out there: I wonder what her malpractice insurance carrier is thinking about now?

Perez was the weak link from the outset. But the media needed to pounce on her before she sensed how vulnerable she was, before the bar review was launched and when she was insisting, "I did nothing wrong." That was Miami's best chance for the NCAA's case to fall apart. Now they've waded through a few weeks of embarrassment, which is nothing new to them. At this point you'll get nothing but a cautionary version from Perez, if anything publicly at all. The information in the OP is from the third party review, which she had to participate in.

Julie Roe Lach is a young professional, with some larceny at heart. A couple of weeks ago I posted some old quotes from her, in which she said transparency was the goal while at the same time saying the NCAA needed to find ways to differentiate between what was legally available to them while finding ways to work around what was not legally available. That delicious quote just happened to source from late fall 2011, the same time frame as Roe Lach's decision to use and compensate Perez. Roe Lach no doubt is still widely respected and will find a willing taker. She's not going to jeopardize her career by opening her mouth against the NCAA. A few weeks ago, Perez might have blabbed simply because she didn't know any better.

LOL. You make it sound like "abusing a bankruptcy proceeding" is a common everyday practice.

MEP is a stupid c*nt, but it is obvious that the NCAA is throwing her under the bus.

I would be shocked if she doesn't dish dirt eventually.
