(145,046 posts)Bracewell is a good Texas firm. Rudy used to be at this firm. I know that a number of Bracewll partners were very very happy when Rudy left.
This lady is a former federal judge and was selected by Judge Kimba Wood. I am willing to wait and see but these are strong qualifications

Jones joined the Bracewell law firm in May 2016, shortly after Giuliani left as a name partner in that firm.
The Bracewell firm is a good firm

(37,648 posts)She is in private practice now, handling white collar crime & financial fraud. So that's great. She'll know & understand lots of Cohen financial & white collar crime docs without having to work too hard at it.
She was apptd as a federal judge by Clinton back in the day, after being recommended by Patrick Moynihan.
She actually worked as a prosecutor for a while in that same southern district of New York.
She did work for Giuliani at one time, which is worrisome. Is there a chance for leaking to Giuliani?
All in all, she seems extremely competent. I didn't see any red flag to indicate she'll be unfair.
