They gave him great joy and he seemed to win most of his cases with just his little black book. He was always kind and generous to me. I miss him.<BR/><BR/>As for Nelan Sweet, he was a good friend of mine and very much a gentleman (although he loved to flirt with the - then young ladies).<BR/><BR/>To those of you new to the community, savor every moment, learn all you can, take chances and dream big . . . life is <BR/>**kc*n0)short.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-43480146465348819452008-01-27T19:55:00.000-05:002008-01-27T19:55:00.000-05:00To the idiot who castigates Gaer:Sy gave his clien...To the idiot who castigates Gaer:<BR/><BR/>Sy gave his clients dignity and an adequate defense. A client is not entitled to outstanding representation but adequate representation. His clients paid him modest sums and Sy did wonders for them.<BR/><BR/>I daresay that most defense attorneys I meet do not give their clients outstanding representation though they may charge 5 times what Sy charged. <BR/><BR/>The man is dead -- let him rest you moron.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-32771176633932922672008-01-22T08:05:00.000-05:002008-01-22T08:05:00.000-05:005:13--there's no other way to put it--you are DEAD...5:13--there's no other way to put it--you are DEAD WRONG. Were Sy Gaer's methods unorthodox, to say the least? Yes. Would they work with 98% of defense attorneys out there, myself included? Heck no. But Sy managed to do things his way and win more than his fair share of jury trials. More than a few ASAs took a slam dunk guilty to trial only to get whipped by Sy.<BR/><BR/>A little bit of Sy's success was his shtick. But he had a keen knowledge of the law and could pick holes in the State's case as well as anybody. Did he win all of his jury trials? No, but name me a trial lawyer who has a 1.000 winning percentage. And Sy would the be the first to admit he did not win all of his cases. Did Sy make mistakes from time to time? Yes, but what attorney doesn't.<BR/><BR/>The simple fact is that Sy Gaer was unorthodox yet, most of the time, extremely effective. Don't disrespect him now that he is gone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-78274969465448290882008-01-21T22:36:00.000-05:002008-01-21T22:36:00.000-05:00Perhaps we can have Sy Gaer, Alvin Goodman, and Ne...Perhaps we can have Sy Gaer, Alvin Goodman, and Nelan Sweet as a panel on the high Court.

I was in the mood for a good old fashion steak and Cooper's Tavern presents four hefty cuts with a choice of five sauces, allowing for the game of mix-and-match that’s the prevailing steakhouse formula these days. I tried the rib steak ($35) and the porterhouse for two ($75), sufficiently flavorful and juicy to keep me from mixing and matching. Good steaks don’t need saucing. <BR/><BR/>The evening menu branches out to include many salads, a few pasta dishes and many main courses of other meats or fish, including coriander-dusted tuna ($29) and falafel-crusted salmon ($24), which I suggest avoiding. <BR/><BR/>Lunchtime sandwich options include a seafood melt ($17) and the “skyscraper burger” ($15), its many stories built from 12 ounces of beef, grilled Portobello, smoked Gouda and crispy onions.<BR/> <BR/>My one dinner didn’t give me huge confidence that Cooper’s handles all of this terrain as ably as it does its steaks. But the area around Penn Station isn’t a culinary wonderland, so it could come in handy when the mood strikes me again. <BR/><BR/>Your best Pal,<BR/>Miami Frank Bruni.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-79580278716168276452008-01-20T16:45:00.000-05:002008-01-20T16:45:00.000-05:00There will be an organizational meeting of fake bl...There will be an organizational meeting of fake bloggers this Wednesday at Tobacco.
