Town of Gulauum undartakcn to pressure and intimidate defense counsel into not pursuing the issue of whcthor the O'Boyle Law Firm is a bona fide Interstate Law Firm. I5. The issue of whether the O'Boyle Law Firm is a bona fide Interstate Law Finn is one that should be resolved according to law. It should not be the subject of harassment, intimidation and air raids by opposing counsel and their client. 16. The misconduct is unprofessional, unethical and it constitutes an egregious example of litigation abuse. These tactics go beyond zealous representation and are designed to interfere with defense counsels' ethical obligation to their client. Such conduct undermines society's commitment to the resolution of disputes in courts of law, rather than in the streets or in the sky, 17. While citizens enjoy the constitutional right of free speech, that protection is afforded to truthful speech, and while attorneys must zealously represent their client's interests, they are also Officers of the court, and are prohibited from disparaging witnesses and attorneys, or otherwise undermining the administration of justice. 18. It is well settled that the trial court has inherent jurisdiction to sanction parties and their counsel for litigation abuse, In this instance, Plaintiff and his counsel have sought to cease any litigation or determination of the bona fides of the O'Boyle Law Firm by threatening and instituting reprisals against counsel, their client and families. 19. While O'Boyle has the right to continue to make a spectacle ofhimseli; he, with the assistance Of Counsel, cannot impugn, malign and attempt to extort opposing parties or their counsel as part of the litigation process. 20. Abusive conduct is not a novel ty for 0 'Boyle, who has lcft a historic trail ofabusive litigation. 5 LA.w OFWcas 9rsW6arAPpta, 8101M R, VARXAk P.L. 205.E.31° 87xaer, 9o0AR TOK FLORM&33432.3911
