She was one of the great trial lawyers and a fixture in the Gerstein Building. As Lucien Ferster stated in his comment you had to bring your best game to court when Sally was the prosecutor. She came super prepared and battle tested. She will be missed. My condolences to Josh and his family.<br /><br />Theodore G.

Each time she was involved, I knew I had to be on top of my game: prepared, centered, and with strategies firmly in mind. She was a formidable opponent; she had a direct and commanding presence. When I first met her I thought her to be the Maggie Thacher of the State Attorney's Office. Over time I learned that her toughness was tempered by kindness and a well developed ability to listen and intuit. I became a better lawyer, and person, by knowing her.<br /><br />Condolences to Josh. A gentleman prosecutor.<br /><br />A question. I've never understood why, on this platform, when one offers condolences, it is customary to do it anonymously. What are we hiding? I really believe that messages such as these should be made by a known human being.

It's a cliché to say that somebody "forgot more law than I've ever learned", but I feel safe in saying that about her. One of the proudest moments of my career was when she called me into her office to ask ME for help on one of her cases. Proud and terrified, because this was SALLY and I not only wanted to impress her, but I also didn't want those piercing blue eyes to be turned on me with That Look. <br /><br />She blazed a path for generations of women lawyers and those of us who had the opportunity to work with her are better lawyers, and human beings, because of her. Thank you, Sally. May her memory always be a blessing.<br />Joanna SandstromAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-79354097288566721332020-11-29T10:11:11.823-05:002020-11-29T10:11:11.823-05:00My condolences to Josh and the entire family.

I can only image how close he was to his mom. <br /><br />I remember seeing her in court when she was in private practice doing civil work at 73 West Flagler Street back in the late 70's maybe early 80's. We were both female attorneys bucking the "good old boy" system. I didn't know her by name back then but I distinctly remember one incident and the unpleasant, sexist and condescending way one of these "civil" attorneys treated her during a Motion calendar.I admired how she kept her cool and handled the situation with steely professionalism.<br /><br />May she RIP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-28939726678176878942020-11-29T09:41:50.060-05:002020-11-29T09:41:50.060-05:00I was blessed to co-counsel a case with her at the...I was blessed to co-counsel a case with her at the SAO.

I tried a multi-defendant death penalty case against her early in my career and she was the consummate professional. It really made an impression on me that she could be in charge of such a serious case while still being friendly, compassionate and professional. When my father-in-law died in the middle of the trial, she was the one to push the otherwise reticent judge to adjoin the case early to allow me to fly north to be with my wife and her family. It was a kindness I never forgot. <br /><br />My condolences to Josh and her family.

It was a tremendous experience. Sally was so bright, so energetic, so devoted to our client base, and devoted as well to teaching the interns. Sally was without limiation when it came to energy. But, what was the most impressive feature that she had to me was how much she cared for our clients and for the legal principles that she thought would most make a difference in improving their lives. <br /> I never discussed why she returned to the state attorney's office, but I suspect that what she saw down at SW 168 and Dixie Highway convinced her that the community had to be protected from crime, and from everything that I saw, she was as dedicated to representing the people of the state as she had been to representing our clients.<br /> They just do not make lawyers like Sally Weintraub. She will be sorely missed. Joe KlockAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
