Has Photo Attorney's Carolyn Wright truly retired?

[Matthew Chan]

It was brought to my attention last week that Leslie Burns (whom we know as being a newbie lawyer part of Carolyn Wright's Photo Attorney operation) claims in her website that Carolyn dissolved her firm and retired.

Carolyn Wright (photoattorney.com) hired me right after graduation and I have worked with her, doing primarily copyright law, until she dissolved her firm (she’s retired). It was a great experience and she will always be my mentor. But, as all things end, now I’ve hung my own shingle, and, boom, here we are.

Our own Robert K. wrote about his thoughts on the matter last week: http://copyright-trolls.com/site/well-known-attorney-and-copyright-troll-carolyn-wright-retires/

Masterfile (or Masterfail as we call them), in recent years, turned towards Carolyn Wright's Photo Attorney operation for escalated cases. Masterfile would occasionally file a lawsuit but the years of rampant lawsuits by Masterfile have long passed.

As of this posting, the Photo Attorney website is alive and well with very recent posts. She still lists the following lawyers as being part of The Law Office of Carolyn E. Wright LLC.

* Carolyn E. Wright
* Evan A. Andersen
* Leslie Burns
* Earl Richardson
* Christopher J. Rooney
* Tyra Hughley Smith
* Robert A. Keller, Of Counsel

Her LinkedIn page still lists her as being active: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolynewright

I have checked the corporation database of both Nevada and Georgia and the law firm still shows as being active.

I suppose it is possible that Carolyn got tired of the extortion letter business especially since ELI has put so much light and attention to all the various entities that engage in such activity but Leslie is not entirely accurate about Carolyn dissolving the firm.

If Carolyn Wright has, in fact, quit the business, then perhaps newbie California lawyer, "Mohawk" Leslie Burns has taken over Carolyn's old extortion business and try to collect her 30% commissions from unknowing victims.

The easiest way to innoculate any of Leslie's extortion letters is to make sure ELI's Oscar Michelen is in your corner. "Newbie Mohawk Leslie" is no match for "Litigation Sage Oscar".

According to Pacer, Carolyn Wright is still listed as Masterfail's attorney in the case against Sheila Addison (the therapist Masterfile is after for a single stock image she had on her website).  Who knows, maybe it settled and we don't know yet. But from what I can tell, Sheila is a fighter!

I spoke too soon!  Looks like the Addison case settled.  I certainly wonder what for.  Maybe that was Wright's last hurrah.
