A case opposing well known divorce lawyer Marilyn York, her father Roy York, and a former employee in the Marilyn York law firm, Tirza Mathews, is spilling into social media and local conversations.
Our Nevada Judges has been releasing videos of proceedings from earlier this month on its YouTube channel, notably highlighting a York motion to disqualify the legal matter, calling the Mathews lawsuit “farcical,” “manufactured,” and “perpetrated to exploit media attention and publicity for the purpose of extorting money from the defendants.”
In court proceedings, earlier this month, Judge Egan Walker of the Second Judicial District Court of Nevada, displayed calm irritation. “I will give this case all the time it needs,” he said, before ordering what is known as a case management hearing for April.
Mathews alleges the father, Ray York, “groomed” her for sexual exploitation, after living in an RV at his residence when she worked for the York law firm and that she then became a victim of sexual harassment and defamation. She is now working with the Alternate Public Defender’s office of Washoe County, while her LinkedIn lists her employment as Hutchison and Steffen, making this a high profile case of local lawyers versus other prominent local lawyers. Marilyn York is known for her aggressive in your face commercials defending men facing divorce.
