No, it is exactly how they wanted it drafted. Too much lawyer talk in there to have been done by Parneros himself.

Kind of hard to "keep forgetting" as I just found out about this case today. As for an established law firm "knowing what they're doing ..." color me unimpressed. I've seen a lot of amateur nonsense coming out of law firms in recent years. An established "shingle" doesn't guarantee that a law firm (or two law firms in this case) are competent or that they've made wise decisions in their court filings or press releases.
At one point in my life I used to think lawyers (in general) knew what they were talking about. It didn't take long for me to figure that not all of them were competent or even very smart. When I was seventeen, I wrote and filed a motion to dismiss a traffic citation brought against my father for a traffic accident (he was not at fault). The case was dismissed. A couple years later I did the same for my brother. In his case it was much worse. The driver in front of him had his left turn light on and, as my brother went to pass him on the right shoulder, he turned right and directly into him. At first the police officer cited my brother for illegal passing, then (when the law showed it was clearly legal to pass on the right shoulder) they changed the charge. Doing research I found that this driver had collected damages for several similar "accidents," and that the same police officer was involved in all of them. At any rate, I wrote and filed a motion and the case was dismissed — I think I was twenty at the time.
