From the Phoenix Business Journal -
Former Arizona attorney general Grant Woods no longer is representing Republican Congressman Rick Renzi in a federal investigation that is looking into the latter's involvement in a real estate deal involving swapping federal lands with parcel owned by a former business partner.
Renzi hired Woods last year when the investigation first came to light. (R-Cubed)
This change doesn't mean that Renzi believes that he doesn't need representation; powerhouse Arizona lawyer Woods has been replaced with the nearly 700 lawyers(nationwide) of powerhouse DC law firm Nixon Peabody LLP.
Interesting tidbit from the webpage of their DC office (emphasis mine)-
The firm’s Washington D.C. office is staffed by approximately 100 attorneys. It is conveniently located just off Pennsylvania Avenue, midway between the Capitol and the White House, and directly across from the headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Well, he'll save money on his lawyers' travel expenses, anyway.
