Tokyo Valentino, which sits on some really expensive real estate on Cheshire Bridge Road near the corner of Piedmont Road, has had a long struggle with the city. That was the case in which then-Mayor Kasim Reed fired former Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran in 2015 after the chief wrote a religious book that condemned homosexuality and handed out copies to underlings. The beautiful irony here is that in 2016, when the city hired Bergthold to battle Tokyo Valentino, Atlanta was already being sued by the Alliance Defending Freedom. His office declined an interview.īergthold, a 1997 grad of evangelist Pat Robertson's Regent University School of Law, has worked for years in conjunction with the Alliance Defending Freedom, the de facto legal squad for the religious right. That is unless you want a devoted mercenary such as Bergthold, who literally wrote the book on the subject. BOB ANDRES / however, has a whole stable of in-house lawyers, so you really shouldn’t need to hire a Hessian. Tokyo Valentino Gwinnett sued the county in federal court because Gwinnett changed its laws to regulate sexual devices and move stores out of commercial areas.
