About Me
Old newspaper reporter, digging around for truth for 20 years... Then on to law school where some people think they teach you to lie! (Not true). Now practice family and criminal law...U. S. Marine Corps and Vietnam War veteran...two beautiful daughters...three beautiful wives...One client on death row after he killed a woman for dissing him, another in prison because he hired a hit man to kill his wife (hit man turned out to be a cop). Trying to hang on long enough to write all about it...
