Judge Orders Dragon Lawyers to Remove Logo from Filings

A federal magistrate judge in Michigan has ordered lawyer Jacob Perrone of Dragon Lawyers to remove a large, colorful dragon-in-a-suit watermark from all legal pleadings after finding it distracting, juvenile, and inappropriate for court documents. The judge's order followed Perrone's recent use of the dragon logo, intended to help his new firm stand out and symbolize aggressive representation. The complaint featuring the logo, filed on behalf of an inmate, was struck, and Perrone was directed to refile without the dragon image and refrain from using it in future court filings. Legal experts and commentators noted the unusual nature of the incident, highlighting both the importance of professionalism in legal submissions and the challenges courts face as filings become more digital. Perrone stated he regrets the prominent use of the watermark and will comply with the order.
