Press Release
Sometimes false allegations can have a disastrous effect on a person's reputation that persists long after the allegations are determined to be untrue. Even when the allegations are completely without merit. In a very real sense, the damage is done the instant the allegations are made without regard to truth.
Most of our clients do not desire any press or publication of information about their cases. No one really wants to bring additional attention to an embarrassing matter.
In some cases, they have no choice. In cases where our clients have already suffered negative press over false allegations or unfair press that places them in a negative light or embarrasses them or their family unfairly, a simple "no comment" does little to correct the record or restore their reputation. In at least some of those cases, our clients understandably prefer to set the record straight with a press release.

Re: KevinP. Moriarty v. Kimberly Ireland - October 21, 2010
PRESS RELEASE
Last year Kimberly Ireland filed a federal lawsuit and in 2007 she filed a judicial complaint against Judge Kevin P. Moriarty based on the allegation that ?he appeared to be masturbating? in court during a mediation in her divorcecase. This past week Judge Moriarty settled a law suit against Ms. Ireland for making these false allegations about him. The specific terms of the settlement are confidential.
Ms. Ireland?s assertions against Judge Moriarty and the resulting media attention were humiliating and caused a great deal of embarrassment and ridicule for Judge Moriarty and his family.
Ms. Ireland regrets the untrue statements made and the embarrassment that they caused. She has previously admitted that she was mistaken and the claims were untrue. She made the statements at a time when she was under a great deal of duress related to a contentious divorce and is trying her best to make amends. For any party that is continuing to report these allegations, both Kimberly Ireland and Judge Moriarty would request that the allegations be removed or deleted from further publication.
