I don't think it was a PR stunt. However, I can see why some will still think along those lines.
The attorney is still employed by the same legal firm (I would have expected him to be fired over this); and Rowlings still uses the same legal firm (again, I would have expected her to go elsewhere and stay away from the firm who still employs the blabbermouth).
I think that's why some will always think we're not getting the whole story here. The attorney basically got a slap on the wrist and the firm donated to a charity, and everyone seems off the hook.
