 * I applied some very basic formatting fixes to get the draft to comply with the most basic of Wikipedia's in-house style requirements. However, the text does need to be rewritten as Kikichugirl notes above.
 * Some changes I made, included:
 * Rendering the title of the article, and any alternate names, in boldface text in the lead on first usage.
 * Using proper headings instead of bold-faced text. A top-level heading (also called an L2 heading) is created by enclosing the heading's text with a pair of equals signs at each end of the line, like . To increase the level of indentation, add an extra equals sign to each end of the line, so an L3 is  . (An L1 heading is never used in an article; the title at the top of the page is rendered as an L1.)
 * Putting the external links section after the references per MOS:LAYOUT. Also, those external links should not be in footnote format, so I made them proper links.
 * Using italics for the names of court cases.
 * Using italics for the names of published works.
 * Removing URLs from the website parameter of citation templates. That parameter is for the name of a website, which is analogous to the name of a newspaper.
 * Shifting footnotes to follow punctuation. Also, where applicable, footnotes should follow the full text they are citing, not just the name or another detail that appears up front in the paragraph.
 * At this point though, the biggest problem is that the draft reads like a promotional brochure for the law firm and two of its lawyers, and not a neutral accounting of the firm and its history. I'm sure that the firm has been received criticism in the media, and if so, that needs to be included as well. As it stands at the moment, it is entirely too promotional and positive in nature to be acceptable as an article in Wikipedia. Since I gather from your account name that you work for the firm, you're probably too close to the subject matter to write an acceptable article, but you should be able to help supply information to others.

Block
Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Diannaa (talk) 03:09, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
