In September 2022, ALD Social LLC, a Delaware plaintiff represented by Ramey LLP, filed a barrage of Western District of Texas complaints, one against each of Alert Media, Alphabet (Google), Apple, AT&T, Deutsche Telekom (T-Mobile), Verizon, and Verkada. Since then, things have not gone well for ALD Social, for its litigation counsel, and for the alleged funder behind the campaign. Earlier this month, briefing completed on a motion for attorney fees filed by Apple in the Northern District of California. There, Apple seeks a shift of $740,481.55 in fees and asks District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley to hold Ramey LLP jointly and severally liable for that amount in part because “of a pattern of vexatious litigation”. Apple also asks the court to rope in ALD’s alleged funder because without it, ALD, one among many alleged “judgment-proof clients” of Ramey LLP, “likely cannot pay any fees awarded to Apple”. Apple has listed for the court 15 other suits in which Ramey LLP has provided representation, suits involving orders assessing fees and costs that purportedly combine to a total of $3M.
