Sunny Goldin, founder and owner of Goldin farms, of Deland and Homestead, is the famous Alpaca Farmer. "Golden" Alpacas are raised on her farm and sold all over the world.
In her spare time, Sunny enjoys tournament ping pong, Alpaca Polo, and defending people from 316 and 322 violations.
You forgot "She is also a champion water skier, and author of the best sellers "Why Tickets Matter-Legal Self Defense in Florida" and "My Alpaca Journey. How a late night infomercial changed my life."
Rumps -- Dont' you think it's time to clean up your blog's intro. First, anyone who knew him knows that Richard E. Gerstein was very particular about the period following his middle initial. No kidding. And you'll find the proper period following the E on his namesake building. So add a period. Second, the intro still speaks aspirationally, as if you haven't writen anything yet -- it says: "THIS SITE WILL BE DEDICATED TO JUSTICE BUILDING RUMOR, HUMOR, INNUENDO ..." That was fine last year, when no one knew your agenda, but by now you should be saying, "This site is dedicated ..." blah blah blah. So when you get finished floating, or sailing, or whatever you're doing, update the intro. I know, I know, you find creative spelling and punctuation charming, but this is serious stuff. And if you don't know that, you never met REG and never had the distiction of leaving the period off a letter to him.
this was the funniest s*hit I ever read about Adrien. the sad fact is, it could be almost true because that's just so like him. lmao while reading that. Adrien, I know you read the blog. do you see how you're being laughed at? Oh, by the way, The Great Harnage who Camacho had defeated by pretending he's someone he's not has been appointed the Guv Jeb Bush to workmen comp. FOUR MORE YEARS, ADRIEN. how do you say legal aid in Antigua?
At a fairway estates homeowners assoc judicial forum last week, a neighbor of mine, who is a member, said Juan Gonzalez made it seem like he was a judge. He was answering questions with Judge Leifman and Judge Shelly Schwartz referring to them as "we" don't like this or that.

Oh yeah, and Go Marisa Tinkler Mendez (what rhymes with Mendez anyway?)
Please do NOT vote for Addicott. We do NOT need another judge that has never been in a courtroom, except for her own traffic tickets, prior to being elected to the bench.
This is Sunny Goldin here. Over the last few days some things have been said about me and I wish to address all of these foolish allegations. Thank you to all the supporters of my non-existent campaing for judge, chancellor, senator and mayor. The only thing I'm running for requires me to get off the couch and lace up my Sauconys. I am thoroughly pleased to decline your nominations; I will accept checks, however. It is true, I was in Hialeah over the weekend. (not looking for the mayor's office) Customs took a long time though, so it will be a while before I go back. I do plan on continuing to defend truth, justice and the American way. Thank you for support during these troubling times. Now, if you'll excuse me, my JDate mailbox is full of requests to accompany me to my inauguration.
Sincerely, Rumpole, ooops.. I meant Sunny.
P.S. To the guy who said he bites, Sorry, I'm not into that.
Sunny Goldin- whomever you are, please know that so long as the comments were in good fun and were not mean or spiteful, we posted them. However, since they are silly if not annoying, we can stop it if you so desire.
"Please do NOT vote for Addicott. We do NOT need another judge that has never been in a courtroom, except for her own traffic tickets, prior to being elected to the bench"
Yeah, the county is much better off with Pando, a judge who misrepresented facts during a JQC investigation, has been publicly reprimanded by the Florida Supreme Court, shows up late for court so often that her staff has pre-printed signs, ignores the law and routinely gets killed in the Bar polls. Wouldn't want to replace Pando, would we?

The lawsuit filed by Valerie Mammo Schuur against Jose Sanchez Gronlier is in that mode of one step forward and one step back.
The case was filed on August 11, 2006 and assigned to Judge Jon Gordon. He appears to have recused himself and the case was reassigned to Judge Glazer. A hearing was set to be heard on Thursday 8/17 at 3:00 on a Temporary Injunction. Instead, Judge Glazer recused herself and the case was reassigned to Judge Trawick. He promptly recused himself and the case is now before Judge Ivan Fernandez; that's IVAN FERNANDEZ, (not to be confused with Ivan Hernandez, who is running against Robin Faber).
Does a voter have to go to a specific one for his zip code? Or can he choose to go to any. The county web site is not clear on that. For example, it lists several sites for a specific zip code.
Judge Adrien: ladies and gentlemen you have been selecetd as jurors in this case because the defendant is guilty and we must put on this little charade before I can slam the creep, er, defendant..
PD: objection Judge. The prosecutor's file is red.
ASA: that's because he is a HO Judge.
Judge Adrien: there is nothing about prostitution in the information.
ASA: Habitual Offender Judge-not Whore.
Judge Adrien: Habitual Offender? (Glances under bench while humming "blame it on the Rain") Sunny, what's that?
Sunny G.:(long suspected of being the real lead singer in milli vanilli)You can give him twice as much time as usual.
PD: Judge I need a continuance.
ASA: We already have a jury. You can't continue the case.
Judge Adrien: (mouth watering)State call your first witness.
ASA: Officer Brown....(no response) State announces a nolle prosse.
PD: Can we plea open to the court.
Judge Adrien: Girl you know its true, ooh, ooh, ooh, I love you...
I had a trial in front of Adrien the other week, and I found him to be very good. He worked hard, made fair rulings, and was courteous. He is not the terrible Judge you make him out to be.
Mike Samuels? Didn't he win election over Emas by pointing out to voters that Emas "was once a defense attorney who defended criminals"? Sorry, but he doesn't get my support!
Dear Scott- That was a very nice response, and I think that by responding you showed that you are a bigger person than the poster. As a long time lawyer in the REGJB, I think it is fair to say that you are well liked and do a good job for your clients. You also make yourself an easy target by wearing jeans and an open shirt. I think the people writing about you are doing so more in fun than out of malice. On the other hand, as one of the many lawyers who put on slacks, a coat, and a tie everyday, it is inappropriate to dress the way that you do. It has nothing to do with marching to your own beat, and everything to do with a respect for our clients and our profession, and the Judicial system as a whole. The world is a much more casual place than it once was, but lawyers should still wear suits and ties out of respect. Imagine if the President gave the State of The Union in a polo and jeans and said, "Hey, Don't be jealous because I'm a make my own destiny kind of guy." That would be ridiculous. Or imagine if Dwyane Wade decided that he wasn't going to wear his uniform during games because he "marched to his own beat." What you wear in your office is up to you. What you wear in court is not. When other lawyers are bothered by it, it is not out of jealousy or because they wish they could do it too. It is because it cheapens the entire profession. While I do think that your response was appropriate and impressive, this part was completely ludicrous..."I bet I look a lot better than you without a shirt on, I bet my wife is cuter than anything you have ever touched, and I bet you wish I raised your kids." Particularly the part about who looks better with a shirt off. On the other hand, thanks for responding.
Note to Sunny and Alvarez: please stop blogging about Sunny. It is quite boring. Yawn. Sunny, your only claim to fame is your association with an incompetent traffic ticket attorney with no jury trial experience who is trying to knock out a qualified incumbent. That is your only claim to fame and for that you should be ashamed.
Scott, I agree with 3:08. You're a decent guy and all (and one of the few guys who always play it straight), but the comment about your body and wife was almost as dumb as the initial post.
My question: What the hell do you care about the prior post? I'm sure it was a joke (and, let's face it, you ask for it the way you dress). If it wasn't a joke, the guy is a jerk (yeah, I'm assuming it was a guy). Either way, it's no big deal. I'll give you the good advice you gave me many years ago.......LET IT GO, it's not worth it. You're better than that.
I practiced law, mostly criminal law, for many years, the majority of them spent in the familiar, if less than entirely comfortable, confines of the Justice Building. I am no longer living in FL, and I am no longer practicing law, though I am involved in a related profession. I have a few observations about some of the remarks I've read about the upcoming judicial elections:
What do we look for--as lawyers--in a judge? Here are the three key qualities: A) Demeanor--by which I mean someone who is polite, understanding of human foibles, and who gives you a chance to present your case making you feel like you are dealing with someone who has not prejudged the issues and will not make a decision until all arguments are in. B) Knowledge--by which I mean someone who tries their best to know all the facts and the law bearing on them AND, more important, admits what they don't know and solicits aid for that. C) Independence--someone who won't craft a decision with an eye toward their popularity among one group or another, but instead will decide an issue on the facts and the law.
I think that is the best way to evaluate someone. Does the Herald use those criteria? Doubt it. Do the various endorsing groups? Doubt it. Do the various nominating commissions use them? Draw your own conclusions.
Anyway, good luck with the elections.
I have to tell you that although I loved living in Florida, and found practicing law mostly fun (except for those annoying PCA's from the 3rd DCA), as the non-practicing academic lawyer said in RUMPOLE AND THE AGE FOR RETIREMENT, "It's just great to be out of it" now!!!
Was surfing the net loking for some ski exercise equipment and I came upon your site and I was impressed by the quality of content you have. Keep up the awesome job. I will be bookmarking you right now.
Robert Barrar is the worst attorney ever, if you are thinking about hiring him, think again he will take your money and not work for you at all. He is trying to make fame off of his deceased partners name Ellis Rubin (RIP)
After reading this blog,I'm voting for Sunny for something.

What is scarey is that someone like Peckins is not a judge but we have to deal with the likes of Adrien, etc.

PD: But judge who is that man under the bench that is speaking while you lip sync.
Judge Adrien: Counsel this matter will be rest for tomorrow for the State to explain who this man is.
ASA: Judge its not my job to know who that man is.
Judge Adrien: Girl you know its true, ooh, ooh , ooh, I love you.
PD: I object Judge, that was not you singing.
Judge Adrien: State, this matter will be reset for two weeks for you to advise if that was me singing.
ASA: We are doing a locate and do not have our file and the defendant is guilty and he is an HO...
PD: Judge we'll take 364.
Judge Adrien: Blame it on the rain....

I think that is the best way to evaluate someone. Does the Herald use those criteria? Doubt it. Do the various endorsing groups? Doubt it. Do the various nominating commissions use them? Draw your own conclusions.
Anyway, good luck with the elections.
I have to tell you that although I loved living in Florida, and found practicing law mostly fun (except for those annoying PCA's from the 3rd DCA), as the non-practicing academic lawyer said in RUMPOLE AND THE AGE FOR RETIREMENT, "It's just great to be out of it" now!!!
Was surfing the net loking for some ski exercise equipment and I came upon your site and I was impressed by the quality of content you have. Keep up the awesome job. I will be bookmarking you right now.

ReplyDeleteRobert Barrar is the worst attorney ever, if you are thinking about hiring him, think again he will take your money and not work for you at all. He is trying to make fame off of his deceased partners name Ellis Rubin (RIP)
