New lawyer just means more costs which means more money going to Leckrone's minions. Maybe this counsel has an expertise in criminal justice!
Speaking of being a fly on the wall, what if one of you west coast guys hides in the bushes and kidnaps the caterer as he is wheelling the food into their office the day of the SHM. You can then do a change of clothes, put on his hat and plant a listening device under the catering cart. Or better yet, use a big table cloth on the cart and hide under it during the meeting.
Just a thought...
