Jan. 20, 2008: Gilkman receives a frantic call from his 81-year-old father telling him that his mother, Adalina, is unconscious in their Somerton apartment in the Northeast. His father says a private ambulance company, Century, is on the way. Twenty minutes later, Gilkman arrives at his parents' home and finds his mother on the ground, still unconscious, with no ambulance in sight. His father calls Century again, but according to Gilkman, the ambulance driver says he can't get his engine started due to the blistering cold. Desperate to save his mother, Gilkman dials 911. Fifteen minutes later- far too late by most national standards- a city-dispatched ambulance arrives just in time to pronounce her dead. That Century driver was thinking about charging my parents or Medicaid for that ri...

Steve Zakheim was charged in Brooklyn federal court with funneling $32,500 in phony contributions to the senatorial campaigns of Rudy Giuliani and Chuck Schumer, as well as the congressional races of Noach Dear and Melinda Katz. Among other things, Zakheim admitted in court that the routine was just for show and acknowledged that he had reimbursed his workers after asking them to write the checks.
Overdose of lawyer ads I agree with the June 29 letter from Thetis M. O'Brien about being "sick of the overdose of drug ads on TV," but would like to add to the 'sick of' list those accident lawyer ads. And if I'm injured in an accident, I certainly do not want a strange ambulance chaser coming to see me in the emergency room.
Robert J. Ellis was forty-eight years of age and was just hitting his stride as an attorney. He had represented Tupac Shakur. He was representing Jamal Barrow, a rapper known as "Shine," and New York City Councilman Allan Jennings. Ellis called Speaker Gifford Miller's decision to strip Jennings of committee assignments "institutionally racist. On December 15 while Ellis was cross-examining a witness, he was felled by a massive stroke. He died later at Beth Israel Hospital. There should be a coroner's inquest. The autopsy report should list "homicide" as the manner of death and "racism" as its cause. I took a bold and militant position, in part, in remembrance of Willie Turks, a transit worker lynched earlier in Brooklyn by a white mob. My chief adversaries, in 1986, included Gov. Mari...

A call to Councilman Parks generated the following statement from his chief of staff, Bernard Parks Jr.-Ali tried to takeover a press conference the councilman was conducting in his official capacity. "The United States has a criminal justice system that we believe in and it appears, in this case, it has worked. [Najee Ali] had repeatedly been on the wrong side of the law on a number of different issues. It's unfortunate but that's what the legal process is there for to weed out wrong doers and that's what it's all about." Ali often claims to be an Imam in the Muslim community though his actions portray just the opposite. According to a Muslim spokesman, an Imam is the head of a mosque. There is reportedly no mosque that Ali is the head of and some members of the Muslim brotherhood cons...

Edwards' presence is already felt in the Republican backrooms, as the tension manifests itself between the OOP's planned attack on Edwards' trial lawyer baggage and the resume of trial lawyer (and former housing secretary) MeI Martinez (R.), one of the top OOP candidates for Senate. Can the Bush campaign go after Edwards as an ambulance chaser when Martinez, the White House's favorite, was the head of his state's trial lawyer association?
The term "ambulance chaser" was coined to scorn that profession seen as the lowest of the low - the unsavory trial lawyer who trolls for business from vulnerable accident victims. I suggest a new use for the word, however, to describe members of a profession that now has unscrupulous attorneys beat in terms of trying to profit from other people's misfortunes - the paparazzi. Celebrity photographers literally chased an ambulance last Friday morning as they fought to get sensational pictures of Britney Spears. The troubled pop star was taken in the vehicle to the Cedars- Sinai Medical Center after Los Angeles police ordered she be hospitalized "for her own welfare," according to a spokesman. Police were called to her home after she reportedly refused to hand over her two children to her e...
