Hey Dave ,, I would hire Florida circuit court Judge Larry Seidlin of
Florida. That guy is the "man". He would take care of the widow, the kids,
the everything. If Judge Larry can't do it, no one can.

Professor Leach? You can't make this up. Leach ,, as in ... 1. (v.) To
flow or leak out slowly:
. seep
. bleed
. discharge
. drain
. dribble
. drip
. extravasate (technical)
. exude
. leak
. ooze
. secrete
. transpire
. transude
. trickle
. gush (antonym)
. flow (antonym)
. flood (antonym)


The guy sure does have a lawyer's name!

Dave, so what's your recommendation for how to fix this issue with our
friend in Venice?

I think a combination of appeals to business interests having a stake in
encouraging continued boat traffic from out of state, and efforts to get
the
problem publicized through friendly news media, is likely to be far more
effective in cost as well as time than a law suit.

I'll never forget one of the work problems Professor Leach included in his
case book on real property. He described a poor widow whose house was
about
to be taken by the city through eminent domain. As he described the facts
it
was clear she didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of challenging the
taking in court. His question was what can you do for her. His answer to
the
class was get ahold of a reporter at the local newspaper favoring the
party
out of power at the time and suggest it might make a good story.

His point--a good lawyer like a good carpenter uses the right tool for the
job.
