The SNA dismissed Matz as its legal representative and instead hired Barnes & Thornburg for that role. This caused some dissension within the ranks of the SNA and a protest from the Congressional Hunger Center, which said that OFW Law was "the A-team" in child nutrition and urged the retention of Matz. In 2014, the SNA filed a legal ethics complaint with the District of Columbia Bar against OFW Law, alleging that the firm had improper contacts with the United States Department of Agriculture and had conflicts of interest. The complaint was dismissed by the Bar in 2015.
