Attorney denies firm owes ex employee in Iowa case
Linn County District Court records show attorney Tom Riley asks dismissal of a suit by Wythe Willey, a former top aide to Gov. Robert Ray and Sen. Charles Grassley. Riley counters Willey owes the firm about $15 000 plus $1 498 for a separate matter and accuses Willey of fraud over about 40 000 in fees. Willey says Riley knows the allegations are false and that the dispute stems from a legitimate employment contract.
