He also was my father's best man, when he got married in the early 1950s. He was quite a fine person, who was an example for us all. He also took the time to mentor many, even a few times for me.

When leaving that firm to found my own firm the usual fight over cases and compensation occurred. Irwin took my case and argued against a well known insurance attorney. We won and Irwin refused to take any fee for his services. At the time he was president of the Dad County Bar and i am sure had his plate full of much more important matters. Over the years, when I would see him either in court at tending to his sailboat at Mathenson Hammock and would always try to thank him and he seemed embarassed that I brought it up. He was a true trial attorney and had the highest ethics anyone could have. A true gentleman in and out of court. Never tried to pull cheap tricks like the insurance attorneys of today. If all of the attorneys practicing today had half the ability and ethics of Mr. Block the profession would be much improved. We will never see the likes of him again. May he rest in peace.the trialmasternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-81370574217646938802015-02-16T14:07:14.688-05:002015-02-16T14:07:14.688-05:00Met Mr Block 16 years ago when I was a young PD.

And with all due respect to him and Judge Emas all I saw was endless litigation scratching out a living or becoming a judge and being capped at 100k or whatever it was then. I took his advice and struck out for silicon valley. Got a masters in Comp sci from Stanford and used my knowledge of the legal system to design software for clerks offices and lawyers offices that can talk to each other. Also wrote some very profitable code for a Russian security software company. That got me 5% of the company. Last year my companies grossed 135 million. I have a private jet and a compound in Hawaii and a chalet in Vail. Every day I thank the good lord that I didn't sit around trying to befome the A pd in my division or leave to chase clients and bondsmen. But this is about Mr Block and he once gave me a half hour of his valuable time and I never forgot it. RIP.

Although I never met him, I do know he was well respected and now that I know his connection to the Pitts & Lee case, hhe has my respect as well. However,please do no forget that the now deceased great polygraph examiner, Warren Holmes started the ball rolling on getting the pardon for Pills & Lee. Holmes took a poolygraph of a third party and inadvertentedly discovered the truth about who actually did the murder that Pitts & Lee were on death row for. He spent a lot of his own money to obtain justice for Pitts & Lee. I had the privedge of having lunch with Warren and Lee one afternoon at "Bob's Burgers". It was a great honor to be in their company.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-69118142342401771712015-02-16T09:18:20.050-05:002015-02-16T09:18:20.050-05:00One summer I clerked with FIne Jacobson..Linda Wel...One summer I clerked with FIne Jacobson..Linda Wells worked closely with Irvin..she showed me how to do research and find the law..Block was a gentleman and very cool...Ted Klein, Marty Fine and Joe Serota..all great people back then...I thought they would hire me but instead they picked Henry Latimer ..all old timers in higher court!!williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08246715367465272134noreply@blogger.com
