Filing Summary

Ackerman seeks to disqualify Bill Brewer from the Texas case for three purported reasons.  First, Ackerman claims that Brewer himself is a “tortfeasor who engaged in wrongful conduct as a primary actor in the underlying dispute.” (p.3).  Second, the motion notes that Brewer has a familial relationship with the McQueen family, creating potential conflicts of interest.  Third, Ackerman notes that Brewer and his firm are, in addition to being a law firm, also a “business competitor” of Ackerman’s in the public relations space. (p.2). 

While this motion is fairly terse, it was filed contemporaneously with a Declaration of Revan McQueen, which contains a number of shocking allegations involving the NRA and Brewer.  In addition, on April 16, 2020, Ackerman filed a supporting brief that further fleshes out its basis for asking Brewer to be disqualified.
