Most of us only know of him because of the ongoing Casey Anthony
murder
trial. But who is this lawyer who seems to fumble around the courtroom
at times and other times cross examine witnesses with flare and legal
prowess? Mr. Baez accepted Ms. Anthony's case pro-bono and has dedicated
all of his time and effort in saving her life. If convicted she is facing
the death penalty. A case of this magnitude and severity should have been
tried by an experienced and knowledgeable lawyer. Although commendable
that he would take on such a complex and severe case for nothing, it does
call into question his motives and underlying reasons. Upon a quick review
of Mr. Baez attorney status it is immediately noted that he was barred
in 2005. In other words, Mr. Baez has been a lawyer for about five years
even though he was born in 1969. Further information about Mr. Baez was
obtained from articles written about him from the Orlando Sentinel. None
of which is all too flattering. Mr. Baez passed the bar in 1997, but was
not allowed to become a lawyer until 2005. It took eight years for the
Florida Bar to allow Mr. Baez to become a practicing lawyer. Reasons include
lack of financial responsibility and "a total lack of respect for
the rights of others and a total lack of respect for the legal system,..."
Harsh words from the Florida Supreme Court. It is imperative to always
meet with different lawyers before choosing one to represent you. Do some
research and ask people you trust for possible referral. A lot is at stake
