I happy to see that Mr. Eytan's unethical strategies have finally caught up with him. Mr. Wong no doubt sought out the Eytan law firm as Mr. Eytan has long standing reputation of using getting his way in court without concerning himself morals and ethics. Mr. Eytan has a long standing infamous reputation from the reports of the lawyers that know him in San Francisco. Most of us thought he was retired only to find he is now involved in family law practicing out of Marin. I am very interested to see what the Barr does with him in the following investigation. I'm sure many of us have a few wild stories to tell about Eytan and his antics.

A new opinion is issued after re-hearing. Even harsher (see footnote #9 therein.)

From what I understand Mattaniah Eytan had a stroke and took a leave. Can anyone confirm where he is hiding these days?

It's amazing to see people impeach the integrity of an attorney they don't even know. Matt Eytan is a brilliant man and talented attorney and a wonderful human being. And I DO know him.
