If you read the story, it sounds like Scheff's consultants did not work well for the needs of what Bock wanted done. Things did not work out. Bock goes out there and says this did not work well for me, I tried them, they are more talk.....blah.blah.blah. File Suit.

Its called a referral! and Bock was probably telling the truth.

We caught an Embezzler. We did not file charges. We just fired her. Her potential Employer calls us on referral. We tell the truth. She doesn't get the job. What is she going to do? Sue us? Ha!

actually she probably could sue! most former employers will only say whether they would re-hire a former employee.
a very litigious society we live in, when every minor fender bender has the potential to turn into a lottery winning type deal. it's unbelievable. but also what happens when people give obscene awards for damages.
