All week long, we’ve been following this Susanna Foo mess, in a kind of amazement that thus far, the story has been crazy-plus-crazy without the presence of, you know, lawyers. Well, that’s all been taken care of know, as the Inky is reporting today that Le Foo has hired Sprague And Sprague. Now, we know we tell you a lot of useless crap on this blog every day, but listen up and listen good: If you ever happen to get yourself into a heap of trouble and it just so happens that you have local pull coming out the wazoo and cash to burn, you can do no better in this city than Sprague & Sprague. Seriously. These guys could get O.J. out of a parking ticket. OK, that’s a bad example, but just take a look at this:

Richard DeSipio, of the law firm Sprague & Sprague, said that whenever the District Attorney’s Office was asked what injuries Juanita Lewis, 38, had suffered, it replied that her injuries were “unidentified.”

“Unidentified is a legal word for ‘doesn’t exist,’ “ DeSipio said.

[...]

“The eyewitnesses who were actually there will testify that there was no struggle, that Susanna Foo didn’t hit anyone,” DeSipio said.

Now look at that. No assault. No injury. No nothin’. Philadelphia Parking Authority, we await your next move. It had better be good, dudes, ‘cos otherwise, the Foo is on you.

Sprague & Sprague: How You Like Me Now
Updated: Oh, you didn’t believe that these Sprague dudes were not playing around? The how do explain this story, which talks about how the accuser got fired from SEPTA previous to working for PPA? Do you know what it takes to get fired from SEPTA? Oh, honey.
