I would sincerely like to meet you; either on the track or off.
Unfortunately I didn't read the article that "seeded" these comments, but
being a Deputy Sheriff with a large agency (Reno, NV), I have dealt with
more unscrupulous, shady, cheating, dishonest, drug dealing (and using),
pieces of garbage that call themselves attorney's than I care to think
about.
I don't practice in Reno so I can't comment on the attorneys there. I
can't comment on your Sheriff's office either. As a criminal defense
attorney, I have seen law enforcement personnel do a variety of unscrupulous
and dishonest things to get a conviction. Our police force recently suffered
the embarrassment of an officer who was convicted of selling drugs. However,
I recognize that these are the highly visible exceptions and that vast
majority of law enforcement personnel are hard working, honest and principled
people. There are "bad apples" in any profession that sometimes give a lot
of good people a bad name.
There are 3 attorney's in this town that have my home phone, pager, email
and cell phone numbers, and that I'm available for at any time because they
are honest attorneys. If you fit into this group you have my undying respect
for you are indeed in a minority!
While I believe you when you say you sincerely want to meet me, I don't
quite believe that you really want to just shake my hand and say hello.
<<The rest..... I just hope they are standing at the end of the straight the
day my brakes fail..... they'll do a much better job of cushioning my stop
than a stack of tires could ever do! (Soft flesh and hot air being better
than hard rubber!).>>
I regret that you have had such a negative experience with attorneys that
you feel a need to express (even jokingly) such violent and hate-filled
thoughts.
To prove my honesty, I hereby give my word to the list that I will not
post another message that is not related to vintage racing. If I fail to
live up to this promise, call me a scumbag, lying lawyer.

P.S. The person that posted the original comment that got me started,
apologized. That takes guts and character and I respect that.
