Joel Sanders, the former Dewey & LeBoeuf executive who was jailed for a day for failing to pay a $1 million fine for a felony conviction in the firm’s collapse, was released Friday after his current law firm, Greenspoon Marder, paid the entire penalty, his defense attorney said.

“His firm backed him up with this, they were able to come up with the money. They value Joel, they think he’s a tremendous individual,” Christopher Oprison, Sanders’ attorney, said about Greenspoon. “That just shows their dedication and how they feel about Joel.”
