Former state assistant attorney general Andrew Shirvell says prominent metro Detroit attorney Deborah Gordon used information she had garnered in previous cases to smear him, a move that led to his firing, a new lawsuit alleges.

Shirvell filed the lawsuit on Friday in federal court. He’s seeking more than $75,000 in damages.

It’s the latest in a flurry of litigation between Shirvell and Chris Armstrong, the former University of Michigan student body president, whom Gordon is representing.

"Shirvell has a history of trying desperately to smear people, so this is no surprise," Gordon said this morning. "His complaint is absurd and without any factual or legal basis."

Armstrong sued Shirvell for defamation for statements Shirvell made on a website attacking Armstrong’s homosexuality. Armstrong was the first openly gay student body president at U-M during his term last year. Armstrong has since graduated. Both Armstrong and Gordon have asked the state bar to strip Shirvell’s law license. Shirvell has countersued Armstrong and followed that with the suit now against Gordon.

1. He will cost the state of Michigan more tax dollars now

In the end, Michigan will end up having to settle and give him go-away money to avoid an expensive lawsuit.

2. Mr. Shirvell is seriously detached from reality

He wages a witch hunt against a young man for inexplicably creepy reasons and then turns around and whines that the lawyer who shut him down targeted him unfairly?

3. Did you see this video of Shirvell with Anderson Cooper?

From Huff post:

It's pretty pathetic.

He's a grad of the Ave Maria Law school in Corkscrew Swamp in Florida. Only 47% of their grads passed the bar.

Rick Santorum called those at Ave Maria Warriors for God.

4. Deborah Gordon's father Lou got the "Brainwashed" statement from George Romney - video

Shervill's biting off more than he can chew.

Count on it.
