Nicholas Rockefeller, a former partner at Perkins Coie in Los Angeles, has sued his former firm for allegedly discriminating against him because of his disabilities and his religion.

Rockefeller practiced as a “Christian fundamentalist” when he was at the firm, and other lawyers referred to it as a “kook religion,” he alleges in a March 14 complaint filed in Los Angeles federal district court. Lawyers at the firm also perceived him as being HIV positive, based on his disabilities, he alleges.
