UPDATE FOR MONDAY MORNING - road closures for a walking event by the REGJB will slow your commute down.
The Miami-Dade Courts X account is dope.
Long time Miami Criminal Defense attorney, and former ASA at the Dade State Attorneys Office back when ethics mattered, Bob Pardo, assumed the Presidency of FFLA - the organization and what it does is listed below - which is from the Florida Bar Website.
Coming Monday- and you're not gonna wanna miss this so get up around 2 am when it is scheduled to post - TALK TO ME GOOSE.
Miami lawyer Roberto R. Pardo took office July 1, 2024, as president of FFLA, a statewide charitable organization whose mission is to increase access to the justice system for people of limited means by funding legal services, developing innovative tools and programs, and supporting legal aid providers and the courts.
Pardo practices in the areas of criminal defense and personal injury at his firm, Roberto R. Pardo, P.A., and is of counsel at Correa & Martinez. He earned his juris doctor from the University of Miami School of Law.
Pardo served on the board of directors of The Florida Bar Foundation, now FFLA, from 2007-2013. He rejoined the board in 2016 and has served on more than a dozen committees, including audit, budget and finance, grant allocation, investment, executive, and development.
Pardo served for eight years on the 11th Circuit Judicial Nomination Commission. He served as a director of the Cuban American Bar Association and was awarded CABA’s Presidential Award in 2021. He has served as a director and treasurer of the Miami chapter of the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and as a director of the League of Prosecutors. Pardo served on the 11th Circuit Unlicensed Practice of Law Committee “D” and the Grievance Committee “B,” for which he twice received a Meritorious Public Service Award.
He is an FFLA fellow and member of its Bronze Society for lifetime giving.

ReplyDeletetried a bunch of drug trafficking cases

Bob Pardo is good peoples. Thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
"The recently amended IOTA rule and an increased Federal funds rate have allowed FFLA to fund legal aid at levels not seen since 2007."
Let's hope for the best as inflation proves to be stickier than predicted, we don't want any more unexpected black swans. Some are claiming the Feds may start cutting rates somewhat but not going back to the near-zero rates that we hung onto for so long after the financial crisis. For now the Fed after the June 2024 meeting, is committed to keeping the rates higher for longer, and that may be a good thing.
At this point, it might seem that the rising prices ("sideways moving inflation") are now mostly driven by costs which either do not respond to rate rises or are not demand driven. Which means the battle is far from over, and we need to strap in. But at least high interest savings accounts and CDs get to benefit in the mean time. Although I am more of a diversified (long term not knee jerk, different asset classes, and within asset classes) portfolio kind of guy myself.

I always thought his name sounded like an announcer for a game show.
ReplyDelete“And now Bob Pardo will tell you what you have won …”
He was a true Troyer destroyer.
ReplyDeleteSAO narcotics unit when it did some serious damage to bad guys.
And the fish tank in the office in narcotics on nine.
ReplyDeletePardo for State attorney! He would fix the mess.
ReplyDeleteHe was an OG Troyer-Destroyer
ReplyDeletehelped clean up Miami when we needed it most.
Now he needs to be State Attorney and clean that mess up.
The dye’s been cast. Arrojo is the air apparent. He will take Daisy as his queen. Talpins as Rasputin. Gosney as Buffoon. And they’ll leave happily ever after.
DeleteQue mierda
DeleteCongrats to Bob Pardo. He was an excellent prosecutor and colleague, and an even better human being. A really great guy. Also, thanks to the three anonymous folks above who remember "Troyer's Destroyers" (hat tip to Judge David Gersten for coming up with the name). Hard to believe there are still people around who remember any of us from the 80's. Like everyone else, I stood on the shoulders of giants. Peter Outerbridge gave the unit respectability. Joe Rosenbaum turned it into a unit of trial warriors. Janet Reno let me hand-pick my Narcotics ASAs, including Bob Pardo. A great group of people, and the best of times.
