Yeah, I edited my post. I agree completely about the distasteful part of your reply. I did some quick research and saw the reasoning for charges being dropped. I didn't know that the fire could have been extinguished but was allowed to burn for a few days before the winds came along and spread it in such a devastating way.Always feels distasteful but it's his job, which he appears to be very good at. If there's not a robust criminal defense element, there's not a robust justice system. Never know when you might find yourself on the wrong end of that deal through no fault of your own.

There is still to this day alot we don't know and while I hope the young men were made to perform a number of hours of service to our beloved Smoky Mountains, I'm satisfied they did not have their lives ruined. I won't question "the fire could have been extinguished but was allowed to burn for a few days " but what I will say from personal knowledge of having a place in Gatlinburgh, the day after the young men screwed up, there was a perfect storm with winds in excess of 80mph. That is 1 reason they could not blame everything on a human due to power poles/lines going down with a great deal of dry underbrush....hence the perfect storm even without Chimney Fire !I didn't know that the fire could have been extinguished but was allowed to burn for a few days before the winds came along and spread it in such a devastating way.
It's was let go because they were planning to control burn that area. They were ready to try and control it but it because uncontrollable very quicklyThere is still to this day alot we don't know and while I hope the young men were made to perform a number of hours of service to our beloved Smoky Mountains, I'm satisfied they did not have their lives ruined.

He thinks very highly of himself. Has a life size cut out of himself in his box if that tells you anything.
Jackass IMO...but damn total bulldog of an attorney.
Sounds like a good lawyer, in which I despise lawyers. Now that we have that out of the way, my great grandmother use to always say “id like to buy that guy for what he’s worth, and sell him for what he thinks he’s worth”!! LolSpot on characterization. He is good but not quite as good as he thinks he is.
He got knocked down a peg or two a few years back when a motorcyclist that he hit in his Maserati got a half million dollar judgment against him in a jury trial.
