About Us

Lisa Brockington’s revolting and tawdry allegations fall into two categories. Some are outright lies, the falsity of which will be proven at trial through witness testimony and documentary evidence. And some are intentional distortions and conflations of Tuckner’s work life with his private life, which Brockington admits infiltrating through reading personal emails between Tuckner and his fiancée, Mia Metzger, as well as through the internet stalking of Metzger. All of the allegations are meant to gratuitously embarrass and humiliate Metzger, Tuckner and their combined four children.

Brockington’s lawsuit is a shameful abuse of the legal system, a twisted tale of tabloid sensation-seeking, an unfettered sense of entitlement gone wild and interposed in order to enrich herself by using the age-old battering ram of fear, ignorance and pain associated with exposing private conduct that she knew would be of interest to the sensationalist media. Never mind that her employment with Tuckner and TSWS was informed by uniform benevolence, warmth and caring conduct, well in excess of what most employers would do for their employees.

Jack Tuckner, Esq.

As we indicate in the Answer, Brockington actively sought the company, friendship and advice of Tuckner and Metzger, sending each of them numerous e-mails unrelated to work. Until shortly before her resignation, Brockington sought constant emotional support and advice from Tuckner and Metzger with respect to finding appropriate physicians and alternative medical treatment practitioners for a range of illnesses and perceived illnesses, such as for her uterine fibroids and tumors, her persistent anemia, her weight problems, her hysterectomy and its after-effects, as well as her fears and concerns of contracting cancer. Tuckner is learned in “alternative” or “complementary” medical modalities and Metzger is a Registered Nurse who has worked for more than a decade exclusively with physicians engaging in complementary and alternative treatment. TSWS and Tuckner maintain hundreds of emails to and from Brockington, evidencing only kind concern, responsive advice to someone in need and friendship, which were appreciatively accepted.

We are of course saddened by this monumental distraction to our life’s work of assisting working women and combating misogyny in all its guises, brought by one who should know better and who will eventually realize the folly and difficulty of maintaining a malicious fiction.

As we often share with our own clients when empathizing with their various employment woes, everything happens for a reason and a purpose and ultimately serves us, so we will continue to soldier on and practice the kind of holistic, radical and conscious lawyering we’ve pioneered since 1998, using this experience to further our own sensitivity to the plight of working women.

To our friends, children, extended families, colleagues, adversaries, former clients, current clients, future clients and the GLBTQ/alternative lifestyle, civil rights and progressive communities, we make this commitment and pledge to you here and now:

We will not submit to the pressures and vagaries of litigation and/or the anticipated fear of exposure that results from the shameless and depraved use of private sexuality to sell tabloid newspapers and make fast money. We will use this challenge to inform and advance our own work, mission and consciousness-raising to better serve our clientele.
