Lawyer Says Overly Busty Paralegal Assisting at Trial is a Distraction

May 27, 2011

I've heard everything now. At least I think I have. The New York Daily News ran an article this morning about an attorney who objected to opposing counsel's use of a rather buxom paralegal sitting at counsel's table as a distraction for the jury. From the article: "Lawyer accused of distracting his opponent with a sexy paralegal says back off - that's his wife. Chicago attorney Dmitry Foefanov is furious that rival lawyer Thomas Gooch accused him of exploiting assistant Daniella Atencia's assets to "draw the attention of the jury away from the relevant proceedings."
