Uncle Bill Is Too Busy

Unfortunately, the food undustry is still too busy trying to keep Bill Marler in business. Don't get me wrong, it's part of my business as well. Bill and I met one day about 8 years ago. I was knee deep in a Salmonella case involving a past divorce client of mine who unfortunately found himself on dialysis after eating at a buffet in a casino in Nevada. I'd never seen anyone so sick and so near death. My client had gone to the casino to place a bet, he just didn't know he'd be betting his life while eating eggs. After some initial research on the net where Marler's name came up about 10 times, I began thumbing through my then issue of National Geographic. Low and behold, there was an article on World food supply and illness. In the article was a photo of Bill Marler and a reference to Jack in the Box. I literally called Bill with the article still in my lap. We teamed up on my case. He and his very astute partner, Bruce Clark, flew down to meet me and my client(Oh, and we went fly fishing too on the Provo River). I learned a great deal by being around Bill and Bruce and still do to this day. The one thing that has stuck me is that Bill doesn't care about the money. If he could, he'd do it for free. What he cares about are his clients and that they are compensated for the injuries inflicted upon them by the careless people and entities that keep poisoning them. Please, put Bill Marler out of business. I hope one day Bill, Bruce and I can go fly fishing without worrying about the multiple cases of food poisoning we are now faced with--like a slow river without a worry in the world.

Welcome to my Blog

Bill said you must blog.  That was a year ago.  I've never been one to move fast into new technology.  I prefer holding a paper or a book to reading it online.  It means more if all of your senses are employed.  I am not a traditional lawyer.  I choose to be solo but also understand I'm connected.  I started out as a criminal defense attorney handling everything from shoplifting to murder.  I was a professor for a few years in the world of academia.  I now find myself knee deep in e-coli, a potentially deadly bacteria that comes from the intestines of animals.  But its not primarily the e-coli that harms or kills, actually it's the decisions that people of governments, corporations and other entities make that eventually domino and affect a father, a mother, a child, a grandmother.   The victims have names, jobs, feelings, goals, dreams, baggage, regrets, hopes and friends.  We are all connected.  They are all us.  They are all you.  

I play jazz drum professionally in the JD Moffat Trio and find improvization a key asset.  Being in the moment, riding the edge of the wave, conceptual blockbusting and finding ways to resolve rather than spar have always meant more to me.   I hope this blog will help someone.  I will endeavor to write and post articles that will contribute to the body of law, mediation and music.
