   I don't know how damaging it was...

   but this will sure disassociate himself with the firm. It'll also get his name out there, making it easier for people to recognize him. Can you say marketing strategy (if a big gamble).

   yyyeeaaa... basically his marketing strategy is "hire me, and if I quit, I sue your ass over BS".
   
   Nice move.

   well i was listed as vice president of some crappy club and they didn't change that for a long time... that was embarassing. people still think im vice president. i'm sure it applies to jobs too, but there needs to be more information than that... unless he's just being pissy.

   I personally like advertising...

   It always helps to see that people didn't forget you when you left would be my take on that hehe. This especially if you're in the same business as you were before and these are possible clients or another business where they could be possible clients. Maybe confusing but still advertising and even bad advertising is good advertising.

   Small companies should have faster turn around tim

   I fail to see why a big company should be expected to react faster than a small company. I've worked for both ... in small companies there is usually more "take ownership" culture than in large companies. I would expect a small company to respond faster.

   If he's trying to "set up his own law practice" per the article, that isn't an issue if you mean "hire" as in "create an employer/employee relationship." "Hire" in the sense you'd hire a lawyer also makes this unlikely because of confidentiality rules unless you just don't pay the guy.

   No Subject Given

   Failure to update websites can be frustrating, but I'm not sure as to the actual damage. If an individual cannot bury past associations, it can definitely come back to haunt him, but if you know enough of the right people, it won't hurt.
   
   Check out my cool new email! They already have my account set-up! It's a lead pipe cinch!

   The attorney is correct

   He looks to have a good case. If it can be proven that the firm was continuing to use his identity and namesake for a reason, such as to increase profits by falsifying his presence at the firm, then he should win.
   
   I find it ironic that a law firm has set itself up for this type suit. Surely they had the sense to remove his name from their website. Although maybe they didn't have much sense to begin with, which could be why the lawyer understandably left.
