Broward Lawyer Mocks Ilene Lieberman’s “Mickey Mouse” Legal Arguments

1 Reply

Even though she touts her “valedictorian” days at Nova Law School, Ilene Lieberman (D-Mango) was clearly outclassed by her legal opponents at yesterday’s hearing in the ongoing Guma Aguiar case. Ilene and hubby Stu Michelson represent the missing millionaire’s mother Ellen Aguiar. Broward legal eagle William Scherer represents Guma Aguiar’s wife, Jamie. Thomas Panza and Jack Seiler are the court appointed conservators.

Ilene must have been up late looking for mango thieves because she was clearly unprepared for court. She claimed she had not seen documents which had been published on July 3. She asked for evidentiary hearings so often that Judge Mark Speiser had to scold her saying there isn’t enough time to hold hearings into every matter before the court.

Lieberman seemed determined to get the court to follow “Israeli law” in order to help her client’s case. Scherer questioned whether Ellen Aguiar even has standing to be in court and demanded Lieberman prove it several times. At one point Scherer characterized Lieberman’s legal arguments as “Mickey Mouse”.

Doubt we will see that quote on the Lieberman for County Judge website. But don’t worry, Lieberman’s 47 cats say there is nothing “Mickey Mouse” about her.

Ilene Lieberman Slams Missing Millionaire Wife On Fox News, While Miami Herald Backs Her Opponent

Ilene Lieberman got some face time on FOX NEWS today bashing the missing millionaire’s wife in court last week. Lieberman, Broward’s mango expert, repesents Guma Aguiar’s mother Ellen. Lieberman’s  face off against Broward legal eagle Bill Scherer reminds us of the time Fredric March tangled with Spencer Tracy. But the players in this case will surely inherit more than the wind.

Lieberman’s big media debut was overshadowed by the Miami Herald’s endorsement of her opponent Katherine “Katie” McHugh. In a shocking turn of events, the Herald recognized McHugh as the only experienced lawyer in the race.

“Ms. Lieberman began her political career on the Lauderhill Council in 1984. A former mayor of Broward County, she has been on the county commission since 1996. Over the years, she has held a number of other elected and non-elected positions. This would be her first experience on the bench, however, and, at 68, she would be limited to one term because of her age.

Ms. McHugh enjoys a more impressive legal résumé covering 18 years of trial work, including service as a public defender from 1995 to 1998 and 100 jury trials. Her current practice includes business and commercial litigation. She is also a juvenile dependency attorney representing indigent parents charged with violations by the Department of Children and Families.

Ms. McHugh’s courtroom experience gives her the edge in this race. She says serving on the bench in county court, where defendants often have their first brush with the law, presents an opportunity ‘to help people before they get into real trouble.’

For Broward County Court Judge Group 6, The Miami Herald recommends KATIE MCHUGH.”

Perhap Judy Stern, Lieberman’s political guru, should bring salami sandwiches to the Sun-Sentinel editorial board meeting
