Other than that, he sorta sucks.
Gotta disagree on that one. Simon Phoenix was the ultimate criminal.

With the start of his tax evasion trial three weeks away, actor Wesley Snipes just fired his high-powered legal team, a move that a federal judge yesterday blasted as a transparent ploy to secure a court continuance.
Claiming that his five-lawyer team was incompetent, Snipes yesterday filed a motion to continue his trial, which is set to open October 22 in U.S. District Court in Ocala, Florida.
Until Snipes fired him, William Martin--who represents Michael Vick and Senator Larry Craig--headed a five-lawyer team defending Snipes on felony tax and conspiracy charges.
But Snipes's request for a trial delay was almost immediately rejected by Judge William Terrell Hodges, who yesterday issued a blistering order noting that, "This series of events would lead any reasonable person to suspect that the defendant's dismissal of able counsel is nothing more than a ploy designed to force a continuance of the trial."

Amazing. What is wrong with these Hollywood types? They have more money than they would ever need but they have to evade taxation (yes, it is beyond excessive) and get in trouble.
I would ask “why don’t they fight taxation at the voting polls?” but these are the clowns that vote for socialist tax-and-spend nutjobs like Hillary — are they just not self-defeating???
LMAO !!
that’s funny.......
Celebs think that taxes are only for us little people.
| taxes don't hurt the rich - they prevent you from becoming rich |
Good for the judge. Looks like a Nixon appointee.
Great movie. I really like Wesley but he’s fattened up and gone to seed like a black Steven Seigal. Hey, they should do a movie together “Karate Legends” or Aikido or whatever
Blade, the IRS is one bloodsucker you can’t beat.
I hope he beats them whatever his politics. The income tax is voluntary and the government breaks the law to support this phony tax.
Snipes hit it with the “Blade” series, even though the sequels weren’t as good as the original.
Other than that, he sorta sucks.

You should call him and offer to represent him.
With that logic, you can’t lose.
They're worse than vampires, they operate under the light of day and get away with it.
Wesley, Wesley...those guys put Capone away.
Wesley should consider the fact that the judges and the high priced attorneys who practice before their courts attend the same country clubs. Calling one or the other incompetent will not get you any points with either of them.
Other than that, he sorta sucks.

Holy crap, imagine a practice that seeks out that type of client?
I'd fire him too! Doesn't sound like much of a winning record!
