Lawyers Come Out To Support Rosemary Lehmberg [View all]

First, please understand that I have a bias on this topic. One of my law partners is the brother of the Travis County District Attorney.

Gov. Goodhair really wants to have Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg resign so that he can name her replacement. I and a group of other lawyers all signed an amicus brief to support Lehmberg. http://www.keyetv.com/news/features/top-stories/stories/lawyers-come-out-support-rosemary-lehmberg-8259.shtml We can not give Goodhair the opportunity to name a replacement for Rosemary Lehmberg. I was busy forwarding the petition to a number of lawyers and I was happy to see a good response.

Again, Lehmberg made a mistake but should not be removed from office unless you want to see Goodhair control this office.
