The Goliaths Finally Step Onto the Battlefield: Why Sanofi’s Army of Lawyers Proves My Case

For over a year, I’ve been fighting a legal war alone. It started with a simple question: “Who actually employs me?” That question led me down a rabbit hole of dissolved Nevada LLCs, a shared address at a Las Vegas law firm, and a network of trusts and shell companies that all traced back to one place: the multinational pharmaceutical giant Sanofi.

They ignored me. They tried to contain my case to a single, defunct shell company called DRVM LLC. They told arbitration panels and judges this was a “settled wage dispute” and nothing more.

But I kept digging. I filed whistleblower disclosures with the IRS. I mapped their corporate structure in public filings. I showed how, every time I took a legal step, a new wave of corporate paperwork would magically appear, reactivating the very shells I had exposed.

For a year, the real parties in the shadows, Sanofi, its subsidiary Chattem, and its acquired brand Quten—stayed silent. They let their dormant Nevada facade take the hits.

That silence ended this month.

The Naval Fleet Has Arrived

In January 2026, they finally showed their hand. And it’s a staggering display of force.

Sanofi, Chattem, and Quten have retained Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP—a top-tier corporate law firm known for high-stakes crisis management and white-collar defense. This isn’t a local litigator; this is the firm you hire when the very structure of your company is under threat.

Simultaneously, the Nevada-based entities and the trust at the center of the scheme—AMJ Services LLC and Steven S. Dickert, trustee of the Basil Management Trust are now represented by Fisher Phillips LLP, a national powerhouse in labor law and complex procedural warfare.

But it doesn’t stop there. Within days, a third elite firm entered the fray: Jackson Lewis P.C., one of the most feared management-side employment law firms in the country, specifically brought in to defend Sanofi, Chattem, and Quten.

Think of this not as hiring lawyers, but as deploying a Joint Special Operations Task Force.

· Faegre Drinker is the CIA Special Activities Division—they handle existential, strategic threats that could blow back to corporate headquarters. They’re here for the fraud, the veil-piercing, the potential securities and tax implications.

· Jackson Lewis is the Army Delta Force—they are the ground-assault experts in destroying wage-and-hour and whistleblower retaliation cases. They are the specialists in making alter-ego claims disappear.

· Fisher Phillips is Navy SEAL Team Six—experts in high-stakes, multi-forum litigation, perfect for navigating the complex trust and shell-entity battlefield I’ve laid out.

This is a coordinated, three-pronged legal blitzkrieg. They are not here to negotiate. They are here to annihilate my case in its earliest stages.

This Is the Ultimate Validation

Let’s be clear: these firms do not get involved in frivolous cases. They do not deploy their most senior partners and burn millions in billable hours on a “simple wage dispute.”

Their mobilization is a tacit, multi-million-dollar admission that my case is dangerous.

They are not afraid of the $637 wage claim. They are terrified of the precedent. They are terrified of discovery, of a court ordering Sanofi to open its emails and financial records to show how it funded payroll through a Nevada shell. They are terrified of the IRS whistleblower claim I triggered, which already has Sanofi’s name on it.

For a year, their strategy was concealment and delay. Now that I’ve pierced through the facade and named them directly in a new federal fraud lawsuit, their strategy has shifted to overwhelming force. They are betting that the sheer complexity, cost, and pressure will break a self-represented plaintiff.

They are betting I will look at this wall of legal power and walk away.

What They Misunderstand

What they fail to grasp is that their very reaction is my strongest evidence. For a year, they claimed these entities were unrelated, that this was a dispute with a rogue LLC. Now, they have coordinated the simultaneous, elite legal defense of every layer of that alleged “unrelated” structure.

Their unity in court proves the very “single, unified enterprise” I’ve alleged.

A year ago, I was just a guy with a question. Today, I have a documented paper trail, active IRS case numbers, and a reaction from my opponents so disproportionate it reveals their true fear.

Their Navy SEALs aren't here because I have a knife. They're here because I'm holding the detonator. They brought the world's best bomb squad to cut the right wire before the evidence blows a hole straight through their corporate veil. Let them try. The countdown started the day they decided to pay us through a ghost.

Fisher Phillips contacted me requesting consent for an extension, which I opposed because they have been involved with these same facts for nearly a year, despite telling the court they were “recently retained.”

On January 19, 2026, they filed an expedited motion for extension. Within 24 hours, the court granted it—before I was able to reach the courthouse to oppose the request or place my objections on the record. Their new response deadline is February 6, 2026.

Then, on January 21—one day after Sanofi’s deadline had already passed—I received an email from Faegre Drinker requesting a 30-day extension to February 20, 2026. Granting staggered deadlines in this manner would unnecessarily complicate the schedule and prejudice a pro se party.

For that reason, I declined the 30-day request but agreed to a 21-day extension to February 11, 2026, which keeps the deadlines within five days of one another. All correspondence and filings are attached below.
