: Click the LawSan Francisco law firm seeks dismissal of Thornburg lawsuit
By (Click The Law)
A San Francisco law firm, which was sued by the bankruptcy trustee in charge of liquidating Thornburg Mortgage, has asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit, calling it "long on rhetoric but short on facts."
