Do you recall whether or not you ever had a 15 professional relationship with either Mr. Lipsitz or 16 Mr. Tonacchio? In other words, did your firm 17 represent them in any capacity? 18 A. At this point in time we did legal work for 19 both of them. 20 Q. And tell me about the kind of legal work you 21 did for them. 22 A.
