Amid controversy surrounding the city of Philadelphia’s request for proposals for a contract that would create a for-profit legal organization to represent indigent defendants in criminal cases, an attorney involved with one of the candidates in the bid for the contract has stepped away from the project.
Philadelphia attorney Scott DiClaudio, who worked with Daniel-Paul Alva of Philadelphia-based Alva & Associates in developing a proposal for the contract, and who additionally raised concerns among attorneys for postings he made on Facebook, resigned from the bid, according to Alva.
