Jamie Goodman is a solo practitioner. According to the FL Bar website, he practices labor and employment law. He is in the Comeau building – at least until they kick the rest of the tenants out. The city told the owners go pound sand when they asked for a loan to turn it into a hotel.
Lisa Small works in Palm Beach with Small and Small.
Looks like Andrew works for Carl’s furniture. He was admitted to practice 4/18/2003.
Anybody know any of these candidates personally? What say you?

Grey,
Here's a look at the financials.
Kenneth Lemoine reported $484,718 in net worth, but put $600K as the value of his business. Your business is not worth that much Ken. He filed an extension for his taxes this year, so he didn't have to report what he made in 2009. I'm sure that number would have been lower than some people expected. Ken was an ass as a cop, is an ass as a lawyer, and will be perfect as a judge.
Jamie Goodman has assets of $1,275,000, but only made $32,700 last year from practicing law. What's with the Exxon Mobil stock Jamie? I'm not voting for you just for that. That's just what palm beach county needs. Someone who will have a pay increase by 5 fold who is a spoiled brat – probably inheritance $.
Andrew Daire made about $80,000 last year working for Carl's and less than $1,000 for his own P.A. He has $176K in net worth.
Lisa Small made $165,701 last year and has $941,378 in net worth. Lisa Small is the only candidate who is taking a pay cut for the job.
As Ken Lemoine's daughter, I know him very well and have for longer than most. I can honestly say that my dad is THE hardest working man I know. He has built his business from the ground up with no hand outs or freebies along the way. My mom always told me that I had all of my dad's good qualities. His work ethic, his desire to serve the community, and his ability to see people for who they really are were among the many she named.
Growing up, there was never any grey area when it came to what was right and what was wrong. My dad always had high expectations for me that made me want to push myself to excede them. I grew up admiring my dad for serving in the Army, for protecting our community as a police officer, and for his relentless work as an attorney building his own business. I will continue to admire my dad no matter what the results of the judges race are, but not electing my dad for this judges seat would be a mistake. If anyone reading this blog had any doubt about "Voting for Ken in 2010", I hope this testiment helped!
Wow! Did the previous blogger go through that much trouble to look up people's financials and call one of them an ass?
Somebody's grumpy. Someone needs to get a life.
Wow! Somebody's grumpy. Did that previous blogger call someone an ass?
Sounds like a disgruntled endorser for small.
Yes I know Jaimie Goodman and he is by far the best candidate for Palm Beach County Circuit Court Judge. I believe that "Anonymous said…" financial facts are off the wall as well as his hateful comments. First of all people, just check out Jaimie Goodman's status in Martindale-Hubbell. Mr. Goodman is an intelligent, decent and ethical gentleman with extensive courtroom experience and knowledge of complex legal issues who will be capable of making just decisions based on the law.
I can only imagine that "Anonymous said…" must have been on the losing end of one of Mr. Goodman's cases. By the way, Mr. Goodman worked his own way through college which is more than I can say for others.
The last 2 anonymous comments look like Lemoine plants, particularly since the two comments were 2 minutes apart.
