ATTORNEY BIO

Lawrence Mort Biography. Oldest of Eight Children Attorney at Law I live in Rochester ON and off since 1981 Fall. I have 3 children and 1 stepson born here & Other children born in CA, NY City & Arizona & I have had 4 grandchildren born in NY City area and Florida since I started practicing law here. My adult children are all successful professionals,

a nurse, a high school

counselor, and an interior designer.

I spent the entire summer of 1985 in the Times Square Building working on an assigned kidnapping case, Richard W. Williams. He was eventually freed by Second Dept. of Appellate Division of Supreme Court because of ADA McCarty's (now a Judge) use of peremptory challenges to exclude blacks from jury in Nassau County [Mineola}.* I testified about jury selection transcripts being lost in a fire at request of Irving Anolik.

I tried four homicides in New York area and had a no bill on a Homicide after requesting an instruction that the dead wife was a falling down drunk, NY County. She had died of blunt force head trauma. I won many cases with juries and non-jury. These were not free breaks or bribes, just blood, sweat and tears the old fashioned way of FINDING THE WINNING EDGE. Never lost a misdemeanor trial [more than 10].  I tried many Family Court cases in Brooklyn and Manhattan before specializing in Criminal Defense Trials. Paternity, Abuse, Neglect, Juvenile Felonies, Attempted Homicide. I associated with many attorneys who sent me cases to develop, though my jobs have been less than a handfull. I  had a case from the notorious Bergen Hunt & Fish Club, a Jewish gentleman with a Russian girlfriend. He was acquitted of assault. Have had Many black and Hispanic clients including those assigned to me in NYC & Rochester BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND SOME SPANISH.

My moonlight jobs have been many since I kept having children, including a few years ago winning a Monroe County Family court custody case while working 40 hours weekly/nights at a gas station; also I hefted cases of frozen food into the freezers of Sam's Club. After I received a carpel tunnel syndrome I did not sue; I do not like pansies. When younger I worked in many hotels at Front Desk. As a youngster in Law I worked for several top law firms in Tucson Az and New York City and some smaller law firms. I learned some commercial leasing at the largest private shopping center and mall developer in USA. I did maintenance for them in 1966 before malls were built. Although I have spent some time alone since twice divorced I can still look a jury in the eye and level with them as well as any of your high priced multinational advertising lawyers.

I do not smoke or drink but do like female tennis players.  I was a rabid 

Steffi Graf fan, later supported the Williams sisters, and now am hoping 

for the revival of Eugenie Bouchard of Canada.   I try to keep up with some

sports and report a bit of it on @LawrenceMort70  on twitter.  Am currently at

age 68 looking forward to growing three teenagers + my law practice.  

*I routinely excluded certain races from the juries I picked
