Manhattan Attorney Allegedly Threatened To Whip Secretary For Being A 'Bad Girl'
Secretary Michelle Mauro testified in February that attorney Herbert Waichman told her she was a "bad girl" who needed to be whipped, emailed her pornographic images, and kissed her, The New York Post reported Tuesday.
“It was a crazy, insane place. I just wanted out of there,” Mauro reportedly testified. “He said, ‘Don’t let me have to get my whip! Don’t let me have to whip you. Stop being a bad girl. I’ll get my whip!’”
Mauro left the firm last year, when two of her former colleagues departed to set up a rival firm, according to the Post.
Her testimony came when Waichman sued all three of them for allegedly poaching clients.
Waichman is a founding partner of personal injury firm Parker Waichman LLP.
He earned his law degree from St. John's University School of Law in 1983 and is currently a member of both the New York and New Jersey state bars, according to his law firm bio.
We reached out to Waichman through LinkedIn to give him a chance to comment but did not receive an immediate response Thursday.
