Dealer,

Barry Richards was a pretty cool customer too. Of course, Bush and Gore had access to the best legal teams (and spokespeople) money could buy.

Another prominent lawyer that I thought was impressive in Florida was Roy Black, the criminal defense lawyer for William Kennedy Smith in the early 90s. The best thrive under the same spotlight that would cause others to wilt.
