Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom attorneys involved in an unusual pro bono case-trying to find a boy who went missing from a Brooklyn foster home in early 2010-are butting heads with the New York City Police Department over their desire to review case files documenting the investigation into the child’s disappearance.
Jonathan Lerner, of counsel in Skadden’s New York office, agreed to represent Patrick Alford pro bono on June 6 after being asked to do so by U.S. District Court Judge John Gleeson. Alford was 7 years old and a ward of New York City’s foster care system when he vanished on Jan. 22, 2010, while taking out the trash from the Brooklyn apartment where he lived at the time.
