The ex-New York Jets employee involved in the allegation against Brett Favre has hired a lawyer.

Former Jets game emcee Jenn Sterger has hired the Long Island-based law firm of LaRusso and Conway to advise her throughout the process. Sterger's manager Phil Reese says Wednesday the decision was made ''after much deliberation.''

Lawyer Joseph Conway said Wednesday his firm will advise Sterger ''and pursue any potential remedies that may exist.'' Conway declined to comment further.

Favre spoke with an NFL security official Tuesday about graphic photos and inviting messages he allegedly sent to Sterger two years ago when they were both with the Jets.

Sterger has not commented on the website Deadspin's report.
