What a fun and rewarding last two weeks….amongst the multitude of normal hearings on other cases, I had 6 cases that were set for trial that could have all realistically gone, which means I had a lot of late night and weekend prep going on. Four of them did, and two of them granted late continuances (a delay) by the Judge based upon my request, which was in the best interests of my client, to put them in a better position to resolve their matters most favorably later on. All went well with successful outcomes for all that went to trial…one settled favorably in the moments before the start of trial (which is the outcome my client really desired instead of going through the trial), another was able to have the prosecutor dismiss all the charges at the start of trial, and the other two were decided in our favor by the Judge after putting on the trials. Thankfully, all wins and great outcomes for my clients. When I noticed yesterday coming back to the office that my donut place neighbor, Donutology, whom I share a parking lot with, had a new PIZZA donut, the Pizza Donado, along with their prior known to me ICE CREAM donut, the Donado, I knew that a “pizza party/ice cream party” there is how I would reward myself for this little run of hard work! A bit unconventional, like all Westport, but seriously good!
