After a very long vacation from the Stanley Mosk, I returned to my favorite stomping grounds and who do I run into but a face and a name from the past! Jackie Earle Haley, the kid star from a million years ago, he was born in 1961 but why does it seem like, “Years.” Simple he as been around since a cute little kid with shaggy hair and blue eyes…cute is gone but still a great actor and from were I was standing he seemed like a real nice guy. Soft spoken and very low key, he has a real sense of calm about him as does his former love of his life, it is all very calm. You see, it is possible to be reasonable.

Mr. Haley was there with his attorney, Terry Levich Ross, of the firm Silberberg & Ross, this is a lawyer. There is something that is very likable about her, she is firm and keeps a stern look most of the time. Try talking to her and you will find a softer underside…hmm, a little like myself…

…On the other side representing Windy O’Reilly, Mr. Haley’s ex, is none other than Attorney Joseph P. Koenig, with one of the premier firms in the city, Trope and Trope. Joseph always has an air of confidence and for a good reason, he too is relentless and to watch Miss Ross and Mr. Koenig was a little like watching two cobras. Koenig has a friendly air about him but don’t assume you are going to step on him, he too has a great command of the English language. The feeling is that neither trust the other (lawyers), that is perfect for the world of divorce…no one can trust anyone! Mr. Koenig too is on his own and is watching and waiting as is Miss. Ross. Watching and waiting for what you ask, well Mr. Haley and Ms. O’Reilly are sitting and talking and the two are so at peace that I am convinced that they could repeat their vows. The two spoke for what seemed like hours and never once raised their voices. It was refreshing, two reasonable people talking over very personal issues and two highly competent lawyers watching and waiting…in the end, “Hugs, kisses and pats on the back. ” I had to step back and assure myself that I was on the 8th floor at the Stanley Mosk and that this is DIVORCE court.

We should all wish, Mr. Haley and Ms. O’Reilly all the best and they should both be grateful that they had two of the best lawyers in Southern California keeping it all together.

Not often do I get to see “Titans of Divorce” going at it, but today I was fortunate to have been given a tip that Sherri Shepherd and her former husband, Jeff Tarpley would putting the final icing on the “I am so through with you” cake. Jeff is represented by Peter A. Lauzon and his associate Sharon Stark, both of the high power divorce firm of Phillips, Lerner, Lauzon & Jamra, LLP …… real heavy hitters in the L.A. divorce scene.

And sitting at the other end of the table are none other than Fred Silberberg and Terry Levich Ross. For my readers both of these firms are tough and will fight in a verbal slug fest that bring smiles to my face. ….

….Bless you! Sherri was asked, “what is important about your marriage?” LMAO! she stated, “One of my weaknesses is that I am a yes person.” Hmmm not so much anymore. Jeff stated when asked, “What is important about your marriage?” ‘We balance each other, Sherri makes more money than I do.” And at the rate of these legal fees you better hope she continues to. I watched these two people through part of the day and I have to say that they both come across as decent people. I found both very interesting even when Ms. Shepherd choked when asked while on the stand “was she not telling the truth” in reference to “e-mails.” Alright I hope all of you have heard my opinion of e-mails and text messages…DON’T DO IT! Well Peter A. Lauzon is a force to be dealt with in court and he had Ms. Shepherd doing the “Porky Pig,” you know, long pause and then the stutter. Lauzon was relentless in his attack on Shepherd and I think that it will pay off.

To read the rest of Mr. Nazarian’s take on this divorce go to his site, the “expert witness” is an interesting read in the article!
