Article Abstract:
Talk-radio practitioner Michael William Lebron has vaulted from a surprise part-time slot in FL to the top of the ratings in NYC's morning drive time. He started calling late-night talk shows as a form of stress relief while in law school in 1980, identifying himself as 'the Gulfport Attorney.' In 1988 he was handed a Sunday afternoon position, soon had weekday afternoons, and was recruited to WABC in NY. His unconventional voice and manner still surprise some in the business, but his mix of comedy, law, and news works.

Article Abstract:
An attorney's most important role, that of protecting a client who relies on the lawyer's judgment, is illustrated by the story of a psychiatric patient's conservatorship. The attorney, asked to served as the conservator, worked diligently for his client on every medical and legal question that arose. The patient's family showed no interest. Although the client was not important financially, the attorney took pride in performing the best job possible for his client.
