I don't want to be this jaded... but did these attorneys ask to be reinstated because they want to be paid/reimbursed? Nothing to do with that nonsense that they believe their client, believe he's innocent, etc. Outstanding, out-of-pocket, advanced-paid expenses, and reinstatement is the best way to secure repayment?
How does an attorney in good faith file motions for any discovery when he hasn't made it through the discovery he already has?!
I'm waiting to see real sanctions for this disgraceful circusing.
