"Meet
Keila D. Ravelo. She’s a graduate of Columbia University Law School who went on work at Clifford Chance before becoming a partner at Hunton & Williams, and later a partner at Willkie Farr & Gallagher. She then married and lived happily ever after… thanks to her alleged multimillion-dollar crime spree.
The government accuses Ravelo and her husband, Melvin Feliz, of creating dummy companies and then funneling millions of dollars from both of her former firms — more than $5.75 million, to be exact — to those companies for “legal consulting fees” on work that was never done. According to the
Bergen Record, Ravelo reportedly used that money to fund a lavish lifestyle for herself and her husband.
Speaking of Ravelo’s husband, it seems that he’s got a host of his own legal problems. Earlier this year, he accumulated various drug charges after being named as the alleged leader of a drug trafficking ring where he reportedly sought to transport almost 50 pounds of cocaine from California to New Jersey. Hmm, the couple that allegedly commits crime together does time together?
As for Ravelo’s alleged misdeeds, in the latest Am Law 100 rankings, Willkie Farr’s average profits per partner
$2.235 million. Apparently that’s just not enough these days to sate partners who are starving for luxurious items, like paintings worth $125,000 and Miami condos with $325,000 of equity (both used as part of Ravelo’s security to post bond; she also handed over a $200K retirement fund).
Attention Biglaw: you know your partners clearly aren’t being given high enough draws if they’re allegedly forced to lead lives of crime."
Of course, she's a sista....
How are you going to be a big-time lawyer and MARRY a criminal?
Why do some of our most accomplished women get with the lowest-hanging men?
She would probably be the same woman who rejected the guy in her law school class for not being exciting enough or being too nice.
Brehs? Brehettes?
