CHICAGO-(AEAE)- THE LAW FIRM OF GORDON & REES SENT STOLLER A CEASE AND DESIST LETTER DATED OCTOBER 29, 2009 ASSERTING FALSE AND MISLEADING STATEMENTS ON THIS WEBSITE. Gordon and Rees stated that "recent statements on your website go well beyond protected free speech. Examples of your false and misleading statements include: Gordon & Rees LLP, Ryan T. Brown, Chance L. Cooper and J. Haynes Ryan have geen charged with criminal contempt and Judge Kathy Flanagan granted Stoller's request to file indirect criminal contempt felony charges against the law firm of Gordon & Rees LLP, Ryan t. Btrown, Hayes Ryan and Chance L. Cooper."
"These statements, which are factually and legally inaccurate, may mislead the public into believing that criminal charges have been filed against the firm and/or named attorneys buy a policing agency. In this connection, your statements have caused and continue to cause, serious irreparable injury to this firm's reputation and the reputation of the individual attorneys named."
Stoller has denied publishing any false, inaccurate information on this blog. The number one defense against any defamation claim is the "truth." However, Stoller has requested a meeting with Gordon and Rees officials to reach a amicable resolution. Stoller asked Attorney Hayes Ryan to set up a meeting.

Thus far Haynes Ryan has refused to accept service of process for himself and on behalf of his firm and Chance Cooper and Ryan T. Brown. The summons has the words "criminal contempt" on it and it is signed by Judge Daniel T. Gellipsi 1507.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER: The opinions expressed on this blog are those of Leo Stoller. The Law Firm of Gordon and Rees LLP, attorneys Ryan T. Brown, Chance L. Cooper and J. Haynes Ryan are considered innocient of all alledged charges until proven guilty beyond any reasonable doubt at trial.
