In 1980, in Washington, D.C., then-associate Barnett, Alagia & Carey lawyer DONALD FRANK MINTMIRE told me that the law was essentially boring, rotely applying rules to facts.
That's one point of view, which is about as uninspiring and unenlightened as it gets.
From the sound of the Florida Trend article about his federal criminal conviction (below), DONALD FRANK MINTMIRE found ways to make the law far more interesting and lucrative -- namely, obstruction of justice. As the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals found in the case of United States of America v. DONALD FRANK MINTMIRE, his modus operandi included embroiling his own son in his "box job" securities marketing schemes.
Corporativists apparently believe that "the family that preys together, stays together."
For those Northeast Florida lawyers who think they can "laugh all the way" to the proverbial bank based on influence and hubris, hair-brained "get rich quick" schemes, there is a lesson here.
I'm going to write a song, "The eyes of Justice are upon you." (sung to the tune of "The Eyes of Texas")
The United States Department of Justice is ever-vigilant, and watching you.
What do you reckon?
