Did the Wall Street Journal (WSJ)
use bad research to go after AT&T and Verizon
in the article "America is Wrapped in Miles of Toxic Lead Cables,"? We found too many flaws in the WSJ study. It is standard practice to share research data, but the WSJ has refused to share their research data with us for review. Why?

LEGAL SERVICES, PLLC
Soli Deo gloria. omnia ad Dei gloriam
Von Batten-Montague-York Legal Services, PLLC is a Washington, D.C.-based law firm and the legal-services sister firm of Von Batten-Montague-York, L.C. Together, the sister firms offer clients complementary legal, governmental, strategic, international, research, and operational capabilities while maintaining distinct legal, professional, and regulatory identities. Von Batten-Montague-York Legal Services, PLLC is a separate legal entity, and all legal representation, legal advice, attorney-client engagements, and matters requiring the professional judgment of a lawyer are provided exclusively through the PLLC and its legal team. Where appropriate and permitted by law, the sister firms may coordinate their respective capabilities to provide clients with a comprehensive understanding of the legal, governmental, regulatory, commercial, and international environments affecting their interests.
The Firm’s legal team leads and supervises all legal representations and maintains independent professional judgment and responsibility for legal advice, legal strategy, attorney-client relationships, conflicts, confidentiality, privilege, filings, and all other matters requiring the professional judgment of licensed counsel. Our attorneys are supported by experienced professionals providing research, international, strategic, regulatory, and operational capabilities appropriate to attorney-led representations. Our practice includes federal regulatory and administrative matters, OFAC and economic sanctions, administrative reconsideration and delisting, federal litigation, government investigations, corporate and regulatory compliance, international and cross-border matters, and other government-facing legal representations, including representation before federal agencies, regulatory authorities, and courts as appropriate to each engagement.
Two sister firms. Distinct professional mandates. Complementary capabilities. Von Batten-Montague-York Legal Services, PLLC and Von Batten-Montague-York, L.C. share a common heritage and may work collaboratively where appropriate, but they remain separate legal entities with distinct professional functions, contractual relationships, regulatory obligations, and client engagements. Von Batten-Montague-York Legal Services, PLLC provides legal representation and legal services through its attorneys and legal team, while Von Batten-Montague-York, L.C. separately provides government-affairs, advocacy, advisory, and related professional services. An engagement with one sister firm does not constitute an engagement with the other, and all legal representation and legal services are provided exclusively through Von Batten-Montague-York Legal Services, PLLC.
