I love the Glen Garey lawyer name (awesome) and his statement about being "almost shaking" with anger when he read these letters. We have standards, etc, etc. From the Statesman: * Mina Brees is a former president of the American Bar association * "Brees received the Austin Bar Association’s 2005 professionalism award for legal ethics and professionalism." LOL -- lawyers. (Sorry, no offense to at least our two resident legal eagles!) I'd have to guess this death is a suicide. I think getting called out on her weird gambit must have felt like the end of the world to her.
^ They've talked about her briefly on the news here in Austin a couple of times, but no mention of her little restaurant scam.

(Then I'm going to call him and demand 20 Gs to get it back.) "Glen Garey" is my new Ron Mexico.
50/50 that she offed herself. Again, to get reprimanded in the way she's getting reprimanded, after being in very good standing in her profession. Just ick. I'm sure things weren't so good financially either, and it sounds like she was a just a tad off her rocker. ... Not a good mix, is what I'm trying to say.
I'm pretty sure she was only ever president of Austin's chapter of the ABA and not the national president. Not that it makes much difference, of course.
Apparently this woman had some serious demons. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-brees-mother&prov=ap&type=lgns GRANBY, Colo. (AP)—The death of the mother of New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees(notes) has been ruled a suicide. Mina Brees, an attorney from Austin, Texas, died Aug. 7 while visiting Colorado. Grand County coroner Brenda Bock concluded this week that the 59-year-old Brees died of a prescription drug overdose and ruled the death a suicide. Bock said Brees died while staying at the home of a friend in Granby near Rocky Mountain National Park. It took longer than three months for autopsy results to be released, but Bock said that’s typical for cases involving toxicology tests. The Austin American Statesman reported that three days before Brees died, the Texas attorney general’s office subpoenaed her business records. She had allegedly sent letters to some restaurants in Austin and Houston stating that they had lost their rights to use their names to a company she represented, Chicksports, but they could win the rights back by paying up to $25,000. She was also the president of Chicksports but that wasn’t mentioned in the letter. Relations between Drew Brees and his mother were strained at times and the quarterback asked her to stop using his picture in TV commercials touting her candidacy for a Texas appeals court seat in 2006. Mina Brees said she had not anticipated upsetting her son and sent out replacement commercials omitting mention of him. At the time, Drew Brees called his relationship with his mother “nonexistent,” saying it crumbled six years earlier when he refused to hire her as his agent. Austin attorney Marty Akins, the brother of Mina Brees, declined comment late Friday.
Was surprised that someone would be that slimey to do something like that . . . then, I saw she's a Democrat.
You are not one of these people that are being manipulated by talk radio are you? Surly, you are not being that easily programmed to believe that every evil act in the world is caused by a Democrat.
Everyone knows every evil act in the world is caused by a Muslim. They are just enabled by Democrats.
