Michael Mayo column before the scandal broke
“Whatever he’s doing, it’s working,” said Fort Lauderdale lawyer Bill Scherer, longtime alpha dog in local Republican circles. “I chose his firm as my lawyers, to represent me in some attorney-fee litigation cases. That should tell you something.”

Scherer has his own set of problems.

From Bob Norman:
Another man on the FBI cruise was Skip Aniekwu, then a project manager at Gulf Building Corp. Aniekwu seems to be a major thread in this investigation. He was involved in illegal activity in Miramar and then was involved with the corruption at the School Board. Aniekwu’s company, Gulf, is owned by John Scherer, son of prominent attorney, landowner, and former North Broward Hospital District General Counsel Bill Scherer. Sources say Papa Scherer, who serves as registered agent for Gulf, is deeply involved with the company. Interestingly, School Board records show that John Scherer and Aniekwu were both present at the QSEC meeting during which committee members voted Pirtle as contractor for the Hollywood Hills job.

Stu, I hope you have accounts in Israel becuase if you any money in the law abiding world it is gone.

If the firm had previously converted trust money to use for running the firm, and gave it away, it needs to be put back to their clients when refunded.

Thats a bar violation, and a lot of attorneys have lost their license when they forgot this. Sherer has a good point and Rosenfeltd better be careful on this.
