I think this is likely. Russ is the type of client that you're beyond happy to see the back of. Demanding and utterly exhausting, I suspect if they had known what he was actually like to work with they wouldn't have taken the case, even if they did win a victory for the cause.Can I propose a third reason? After wrangling the disaster that is Russ for months, they simply never want deal with him again. They have no obligation to him, they know he's broke, why would they ever want to get involved again?
At the same time the text message to them he included in his filing seems to suggest they have been giving him some limited advice. He implied he used their advice re harassment. So maybe they're willing to keep working with him if he can get the money.
I guess we'll see what happens with the appeal to SCOTUS. If they don't work with him at the district level but do if SCOTUS takes up the case, I feel that says a lot about their morals.
