The former DLA Piper ethics counsel who has already publicly criticized the firm's culture in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations against former partner Louis Lehot is speaking out again, this time in a filing with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

"I am contacting you because I know no one will dare challenge Lehot," Leah Christensen wrote in a Oct. 23 letter to the agency.

Christensen, who spent five years as professional responsibility counsel in DLA Piper's San Diego office, said that her letter supporting the claim of Lehot's accuser, Vanina Guerrero, was prompted by Lehot's move to leak dozens of emails and photos showing friendly exchanges during the period of time in which Guerrero has alleged she was assaulted repeatedly. Lehot has denied ever assaulting Guerrero, painting her as a liar.
