Back to blogging

So, for the past month I have been in West Palm Beach, trying a criminal antitrust case before Judge Hurley. The blogging has been sporadic, and I apologize. But I am back and feeling good after hearing those two magic words -- not guilty. What a relief! (Congrats to my co-counsel, David Gerger and Jennifer Johnston, and to the lawyers for the co-defendant, Paul Calli and Mike Pasano).

This was my first trial before Judge Hurley in West Palm Beach. What a pleasure. He really enjoys being a judge and delving into legal issues. The jurors loved him and he made the case easy to try for both parties.

The prosecutors were from DOJ in Washington, DC. They were very fine attorneys, who were professional and courteous before, during and after the case.

The jurors were great too -- they spoke to us in the parking lot and congratulated us and hugged the client. I wish I could have this client for all of my cases....

All in all, it was a wonderful experience. Back to blogging.
