Tower Snow Jr., the former chairman of Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison, was finally telling his story of the firm’s collapse. In response to a $2.7 million suit against him by Brobeck’s bankruptcy trustee, Snow’s attorney, Stephen Neal, wrote that during Snow’s four years as chairman he generated millions in revenue and created a more egalitarian culture at the firm. Neal’s filing said that even Citibank, the firm’s lead lender, had lauded Brobeck for its “fiscal discipline.”
One of the two San Francisco dog owners convicted in an attention-grabbing trial over the 2001 mauling death of Diane Whipple could be headed back to prison.
