In late August 2009, Reynaldo Hinojales was contacted by the office of the counsel of Balita Media, publisher of Weekend Balita, and urged to sign a declaration that he was instructed to lie under oath by Bander Law Firm attorneys relative to a bankruptcy petition.

Isn’t this bribery? An attorney should not be offering free legal services in exchange for sworn testimony.
