Three years ago, as San Diego was in the thick of defending a wrongful-termination lawsuit brought by a former assistant city attorney, another lawyer working for the city says he was asked to lie under oath to help fend off the legal complaint. Mark Skeels, who by then had worked at the City Attorney’s Office for 11 years, was uncomfortable with what he said he was being asked to do by one of the outside lawyers representing the city in the case filed by his one-time coworker Marlea Dell’Anno.
It was then, he said in an affidavit he signed under oath, that a lawyer working for the city’s outside law firm defending that case threatened him with personal and professional harm if he did not agree to testify in the city’s favor. Attorney William Price, then of Burke Williams & Sorensen, had first sought a meeting with Skeels in April 2021 because he was a potential witness in the Dell’Anno case.
