“Speechifying”
Judge Shapiro recently spoke on cross-examination at a CBA webinar featuring Bob Clifford, the former CBA president and one of the best, if not THE best, personal injury lawyers in the country, who spoke on closing arguments.
Judge Shapiro’s “Behind the Robes” seminar has been approved for MCLE credit, and he has presented it recently at Chicago-Kent and Ungaretti & Harris. He is scheduled to present it to Holland & Knight on July 9, and is available to present it anywhere else upon request.
New fraud cases
My federal client was indicted in two separate cases. Two separate judges, two separate Magistrate Judges, two separate everything. Both fraud cases. Shortly thereafter, I also picked up another fraud case at 26th St. Again, two separate indictments, but in front of the same judge. Eight counts. Client was in jail when I received the case, but I managed to get her out on electronic home monitoring. I then kept her out by getting her probation, which was transferred back to her home in California.
Still going strong!
Judge Shapiro retired from the bench on November 30, 2012. The very next day, he was retained on a significant federal criminal fraud case out of Tallahassee. He recently returned from Tallahassee for arraignment and plea. Trial is scheduled for shortly after Labor Day. Stay tuned.
