Rose speaks – Celebrity and High Profile Trials

For Such a complex man who won at any cost, especially if it became personal for him, as in the Howard K. Stern and L. Lin Wood situation involving the late Anna Nicole Smith and overlapping lawsuits, that era comes to an end and is for history books to decide.

In the end, John O’Quinn left a simple Will that even outlines how the John O’Quinn Law Firm is to be dissolved by the three trustees, T. Gerald Treece, C. David Towery and David L.Griffis including deciding the amount of severance package for his employees.

It is as if he winked at the world and with a smile wanted to be remembered for his charity giving and his car collection and did not want any firm to carry the name of John O’Quinn as part of the titled.

I expect on existing cases the firm will meet filing deadlines while they wrap up cases, places them with other firms and/or lawyers. The one condition Mr. O’Quinn made in reference to which firms should get those cases is that the three trustees have no interest in those firms.

In the end the good-bye and how he wanted to be remembered has left all Texans who knew about this legend of a man feeling surreal. John O’Quinn bigger than life at the end just smiled, winked and walked into eternity.

October 30, 2009 John O’Quinn 2 pages of the Will that dissolves his Law Firm and liquidates all of the sources after expenses paid including any long term leases owed for office space and transfers the assets to the John M. O’Quinn Foundation. It provides for severances packages at the sole discretion of the three trustees that are to dissolve the firm.

We here at Rose Speaks.com extends our deepest sympathies to the John O’Quinn Law Firm family, who must still be walking and navigating as if the world has become surreal. A few of the firm had been with Mr. O’Quinn for close to 17 years, however most of the seventeen lawyers left have been with the firm only a few years for the most part less than five years.
