Are you a professional athlete facing serious felony charges of which you are most likely guilty? Are you wondering who to hire to bamboozle a jury into setting you free now that Johnnie Cochran has gone to the appeals court in the sky? If so, Garland Samuel & Loeb of Atlanta is the firm for you.
The City Paper of Nashville reports that Pacman Jones has retained the firm to represent him as the investigation into his involvement with the strip club shooting during All-Star Weekend continues. Firm attorney Manny Arora confirmed that he will be handling the case for Jones and had the following statement about Jones' alleged involvement.
"We would prefer to let the police complete their investigation before we comment on any of that. We believe that when the facts come out, it will show that Adam is not involved."
You may remember Arora if you've ever attended Georgia State University, where he's an adjunct professor of law, of if you're a regular reader of Minuteman Magazine, an Air Force reserve publication. Personally I'll never forget reading his seminal work The Benefits of Having a Living Will. Changed my life.
His firm has changed the lives of several athletes as well. Lead counsel and partner Ed Garland was Ray Lewis' attorney when the Baltimore Raven was accused of participating in a double murder after the 2000 Super Bowl in Atlanta. He pled guilty to obstruction of justice and testified against the two friends who were his co-defendants in the case and is now revered by sportswriters and broadcasters because he's good at football and believes in god.
The firm also represented another Raven with the surname Lewis, Jamal, in a criminal proceeding. They didn't do quite as good a job there, the running back served four months in prison as a result of cocaine trafficking charges that resulted in a guilty plea for setting up a drug deal. They also represented the hockey player Dany Heatley after he killed his teammate Dan Snyder in a drunken car crash.
So there you have it all you criminally inclined athletic types. When the fuzz is beating down your door and you've got nowhere else to turn, look to Garland Samuel & Loeb and watch your problems fly away.

Nice job. I saw that he hired them. They should stay busy if all they do is represent athletes. Hell, the Bengals are enough to keep 5 lawyers busy.

I think the Titans are starting to make the Bengals look like the damn Mouseketeers at this point.
How much would I pay to see a Pay-per-View
Gangsta Match - Tank Johnson and crew vs. Pacman and crew?
A lot.
