There’s a webpage, blockshopper.com that tracks who buys what property and for how much in certain upscale neighborhoods.  Some Jones Day lawyers bought property in  those neighborhoods, and that truthful, factual information was posted on the site, along with truthful factual links to the firm’s website, and truthful, factual links to the individuals’ bios on the firm webpage.
