According to Courthouse News Service, Jeffrey Baker has sued attorneys Mike Aguirre and one of his partners, Chris Morris, and their firm, Aguirre Morris & Severson, for malpractice, fraud, and other alleged offenses. Baker claims that Aguirre encouraged him to leak emails to the Union-Tribune regarding alleged poor investment practices at the San Diego County Employees Retirement Association. Aguirre says that Baker had been a source for the U-T several months before he went to Aguirre's firm. Aguirre was the lawyer in Baker's suit claiming he was fired for being a whistleblower. But, says Aguirre, Baker later claimed in a federal suit that he was fired for releasing documents. That's a no-no, says Aguirre. "He never paid a penny for representation," says Aguirre.
