I Would Have to Say, You've Outdone Yourself
"- Lawrence C.Mr. Protogyrou,
I would have to say that you have outdone yourself, and I’m grateful to you. By you writing my prosecutor, Mrs. Laura Tayman, about me and telling her of my assistance in the Michael Jordan trial, and assisting the prosecutor Mr. Jim Metcalfe, made me feel for me receiving my motion for my rule 350.
Mr. Protogyrou, by you being close to this institution, or prison, everyone has kept their eyes and ears on every lawyer from Norfolk to Richmond. Whenever your name is mentioned, the inmates here already know that you will fight for your clients, and in most of your cases that went to trial, you were victorious. I do believe that you will do the same for me." -
