Los Angeles Times Op-Ed discussing the recent Costa Mesa sober living ordinance lawsuit
Katrina Foley, mayor of Costa Mesa, and John Stephens, mayor pro tem, wrote an Op-Ed in the Los Angeles Times discussing the recent Costa Mesa sober living ordinance lawsuit. Excerpt:
“We would like to give those cities some advice: hire Jennifer Keller. Keller is a hall of fame trial lawyer, widely regarded as the best in the county. We convinced Keller to take our case and our council colleagues agreed to hire her and give her the latitude and resources to put on the best defense possible. That was a courageous and wise decision … For those who witnessed the case firsthand, it was clear to see why it was so important to have Keller and her talented trial team on our side.”
