Paul A. Louis, RIP

So folks, that was fun, how was the rest of your week?

On a sad note, I am sure many of us are in mourning over the passing of criminal defense attorney Paul A. Lewis. No doubt Rumpy will have more on this. I found this bit inspiring:

Even when his clients couldn't pay their legal bill, Paul A. Louis stuck by them.

''He wouldn't give up when he got into a case,'' said Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Paul Siegel, who worked with him in private practice for more than 25 years. ``The law firm might not get paid, but he kept on it.''

Think of that, for a moment -- that's what it means to be part of a profession.

RIP, Paul.

Paul was no doubt an 'A' class guy! He'll be missed.

On a happier note, SFL how many times was Bolero played at the Keys with your Latin doll?

I met Paul a few times, he was a good guy and indeed will be missed. Hopefully others will follow in his path.

What exactly did you cook for the Princess?

If more lawyers were like Paul then maybe we wouldn't be so frowned upon or seen as just ambulance chasers.

Hey SFL,
I need to ask you this and for the love of God put me and several others out of our misery and give
us an answer. Your identity and the princess' seems to be sealed quite tight. So explain to us why can't you tell us if something is in fact going on between the two of you when no one knows who the two of you are?

well said about Mr. Louis. He will be missed.

he makes a good argument SFL.

You guys crack me up -- capable of paying respectful tribute to the passing of a great attorney and yet at the same time speculating wildly about (presumed) torrid love affairs.

Gotta love attorneys.
