Firings and Lawsuits Follow Discovery of Secret Bugging Devices at Law Firm; ‘Very John Grisham’
The discovery of hidden cameras, microphones and recording equipment in a Florida law firm has led to firings, lawsuits and the departure of a name partner, according to The Palm Beach Post.
It all started when a staffer at Steinger, Iscoe & Greene in Palm Beach County found drywall debris in her office. That discovery led to wires connected to the surveillance equipment. After police were called, it was discovered that some wires had been cut and a video recording device was missing, according to a lawyer representing the firm in an invasion of privacy lawsuit.
Two associates who were fired have sued the firm, and name partner Gary Iscoe, who reportedly received an undisclosed amount of money as part of a confidential agreement, has resigned.
“It’s very John Grisham,” said attorney Michael Pike, who is representing the firm in the lawsuit aimed at finding out who the spies were.
