Legal PR snafu…

The news that subpoenas have been served on Fleishman-Hillard by the Los Angeles attorney’s office has been widely covered in the media.

According to one of the stories:
“a source with knowledge of them said the subpoenas are very “broad,” and give the appearance of being a “fishing expedition.”

Richard S. Kline, Fleishman-Hillard’s regional president and senior partner commented that:

“We’re cooperating fully with them,” Kline said. “From our standpoint, to the best of our knowledge, we’ve performed our business for the city of Los Angeles in a totally appropriate manner.”

There’s little actual fact in any of the stories and we should remember that one is innocent until proven guilty.
